Aerodynamic analysis and modeling of coaxial ducted fan aircraft with the ceiling effect

open access: yesEngineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 2021
In this study, a novel coaxial ducted aircraft structure is considered, based on which the flow field with the ceiling effect under different vertical velocities and heights is obtained by exploiting the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) numerical ...

Design of HAWT Rotor for Non‐Uniform Inflow Conditions: A Theoretical and Experimental Approach for Shear Flow

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1935-1951, April 2026.
This paper aims to provide a robust design approach for HAWTs operating in shear flow. This study fills a critical research gap by integrating BEM and vortex theories for blade design in non‐homogeneous inflow conditions. The authors of the paper made an effort to develop and test an experimentally unsophisticated model of a turbine working in shear ...

The Generating Mechanism and Suppression Measure of the ‘Wheel‐Rail’ Rolling Arc for Electrified Trains

open access: yesHigh Voltage, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 370-384, April 2026.
ABSTRACT As the ‘main blood vessel’ of the traction power supply system for high‐speed trains, the ‘wheel‐rail’ coupling grounding reflux system provides the vital channel to send traction current back to terrestrial substations; meanwhile, the rail track also plays a role in transmitting the train's occupancy signal to the control system. An insulated

The Future of Hydrogen‐Powered Aviation: Technologies, Challenges, and a Strategic Roadmap for Sustainable Decarbonization

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Hydrogen‐powered aviation offers a transformative pathway to zero‐emission flight by eliminating in‐flight CO2 emissions. Key considerations include propulsion systems (fuel cells and hydrogen combustion), cryogenic storage and insulation challenges, infrastructure and cost barriers, and supply‐chain constraints.

Helicopter tail rotor thrust and main rotor wake coupling in crosswind flight [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The tail rotor of a helicopter with a single main rotor configuration can experience a significant reduction in thrust when the aircraft operates in crosswind flight. Brown’s vorticity transport model has been used to simulate a main rotor and tail rotor

Design Challenges to Expand the Functionality of Drones: Deformable Rotorcraft and Nature‐Inspired Flapping Drones

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 8, Issue 3, March 2026.
This review systematically analyzes deformable drones, including extendable, foldable, and tilting configurations, along with nature‐inspired flapping rotorcraft. By classifying deformation principles and structural mechanisms, design trade‐offs, functional capabilities, and future development potential are highlighted.
