INVESTIGATIONS ON THE POTENTIALS OF NOVEL TECHNOLOGIES FOR AIRCRAFT FUEL BURN REDUCTION THROUGH AEROSTRUCTURAL OPTIMISATION

Investigations on the Potentials of Novel Technologies for Aircraft Fuel Burn Reduction through Aerostructural Optimisation

A physics-based optimisation framework is developed to investigate the potential advantages of novel technologies on the energy efficiency Pop! Artist Series of a midrange passenger aircraft.In particular, the coupled-adjoint aerostructural analysis and optimisation tool FEMWET is modified to study the effects of active flow control at different lo

NOMA-Assisted Multiple Access Scheme for IoT Deployment: Relay Selection Model and Secrecy Performance Improvement

In this paper, an Internet-of-Things (IoT) system containing a relay selection is studied as employing an emerging multiple access scheme, namely non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA).This paper proposes a new scheme to consider secure performance, to be called relay selection NOMA (RS-NOMA).In particular, we consider metrics to evaluate secure per
