Abstract: A 2D numerical model for convection-diffusion flow of a multispecies mixture through a multilayer porous medium is used to analyze the efficiency of landfill venting trenches. By analyzing the way each of the components ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional (2D) numerical model for a convection-diffusion flow of a mixture of gases through a multilayered porous medium has been developed with the aim to obtain criteria for the optimal design of venting trenches ...

Abstract: This paper presents a smart way to actuate and control the airfoil shape of a morphing wing in the open-loop architecture. The actuation system uses smart material actuators such as shape memory alloys, disposed in two ...
