A New Windage Loss Model for S-CO2 Turbomachinery Design
A supercritical CO2 (S-CO2) Brayton cycle is a compact and simple power conversion system with competitive efficiency. However, the strong real gas effects of S-CO2 pose challenges to the design of a cycle and its components.

Time-domain harmonic balance method for aerodynamic and aeroelastic simulations of turbomachinery flows [PDF]
A time-domain Harmonic Balance method is applied to simulate the blade row interactions and vibrations of state- of-the-art industrial turbomachinery configurations. The present harmonic balance approach is a time-integration scheme that turns a periodic

Considerations and complications with "first principles" dynamic modelling of industrial compressors
Readily available processing hardware and "off-the-shelf" (OTS) simulation software has made "high fidelity" first principles models of both steady and transient states, for both axial and centrifugal industrial compressors, relatively easy to construct.

Challenging low Reynolds - SWT blade aerodynamics
One of the main issues related to the design and development of small wind turbines (SWTs) is the low Reynolds number. Operation in the transitory regime makes the rotor aerodynamic analysis a challenging task.
