Effect of the NACA Injection Impeller on the Mixture Distribution of a Double-Row Radial Aircraft Engine [PDF]
The NACA injection impeller was developed to improve the mixture distribution of aircraft engines by discharging the fuel from a centrifugal supercharger impeller, thus promoting a thorough mixing of fuel and charge air.

Role of soft-iron impellers on the mode selection in the VKS dynamo experiment
A crucial point for the understanding of the von-K\'arm\'an-Sodium (VKS) dynamo experiment is the influence of soft-iron impellers. We present numerical simulations of a VKS-like dynamo with a localized permeability distribution that resembles the shape ...

Slip‐Adaptive Neural Control of Gecko‐Inspired Adhesive Robots
This study introduces a neural adhesion controller to improve the stability of gecko‐inspired climbing robots. By integrating an echo state network and a multilayer perceptron, the system utilizes joint torque feedback to accurately estimate adhesion in both normal and shear directions and predict slips. This enables effective recovery from slip events,
