This paper presents a novel algorithm for aeroelastic flutter early detection. Two new features for flutter onset detection are presented. Flutter early warning is accomplished using only measured signals, with essentially no prior knowledge needed about the aircraft or the flutter mechanism involved. The algorithm consists of three stages: 1) extraction of regularity features, 2) calibration by addition of white noise to nominal measurements, and 3) thresholding. Four types of datasets were used: a) synthetic data, b) simulated data generated using aeroelastic response simulations to stochastic gusts, c) measured data from a wind tunnel experiment, and d) flight test data including actual flutter onsets. The algorithm was shown to be able to flag an impending flutter event before critical onset occurs. (The Python code for paper is available at https://***/bmeivar/flutter.)

Designing and optimizing solvent extraction columns requires careful consideration of the determination and distribution of drop diameters. The size of droplets is influenced by the equilibrium state of breakage and coalescence. The interfacial area in the dispersed phase plays a vital role in determining the reaction rates, mass transfer, and diffusion between two immiscible liquids. To ascertain the variety of droplet sizes and the average size of drops (known as the Sauter mean), one needs to consider a range of factors such as system characteristics, column configuration, agitation speed and pulsation intensity. Although several correlations have been proposed to estimate the mean drop size in solvent extraction columns during steady-state conditions, many of them are only applicable to systems without reactions. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of current literature on the average droplet size and size distribution in pulsed and agitated extraction columns. Additionally, it explores the influence of materials, system characteristics, column structure, and hydrodynamic behavior. Furthermore, an evaluation of existing correlations for Sauter mean drop diameter and size distribution is presented for different pulsed and agitated extraction columns.

One of the major missions in the field of stochastic control is to design efficient control policies that guarantee the stochastic systems stabilize within some specified stationary distribution. In this paper, we propose a neural controller based on the stochastic asymptotic stability theory and the condition of detailed balance. A novel physics-informed learning procedure is introduced to update the parameters in a multi-output neural network which is utilized to approximate the controller. We also prove rigorously that the proposed controller is unique if it exists, which is essential in applications. Furthermore, several representative stochastic systems are used to illustrate the usefulness of this neural controller for the stabilization of these dynamical systems in distribution.

In this paper an efficient general algorithm to calculate the Hessian of a steady or unsteady functional of interest in the context of computational fluid dynamics is outlined, verified, and applied to an aerodynamic optimization and to an extrapolation example. The successful extrapolation is then applied to approximate Monte Carlo simulations for artificial geometric uncertainty analysis. The presented optimization and extrapolation examples demonstrate that the combination of automatic differentiation and an adjoint method to calculate the Hessian of a steady or unsteady objective function, and thereby obtaining second-order information, can be an efficient tool for optimization and uncertainty quantification.

Although flows in combustors contain considerable noise, arising from several kinds of sources, there is a sound basis for treating organized oscillations as distinct motions. That has been an essential assumption incorporated in virtually all treatments of combustion instabilities. However, certain characteristics of the organized or deterministic motions seem to have the nature of stochastic processes. For example, the amplitudes in Limit cycles always exhibit a random character, and even the occurrence of instabilities seems occasionally to possess some statistical features. Analysis of nonlinear coherent motions in the presence of stochastic sources is, therefore, an important part of the theory. We report a few results for organized oscillations in the presence of noise. The most significant deficiency is that, because of the low level of current understanding, the stochastic sources of noise are modeled in ad hoc fashion and are not founded on a solid physical basis appropriate to combustion chambers.
