Design of power system stabilizers using evolutionary algorithms
… These oscillations range from 0.1 to 3Hz and tend to be poorly damped especially in systems equipped with high gain fast acting AVRs and highly interconnected networks. If these oscillations are not adequately damped, they may sustain and grow, which may lead to system separation and loss …

Active Flow Control of Subsonic Flow in an Adverse Pressure Gradient Using Synthetic Jets and Passive Micro Flow Control Devices
… studies have shown the advantages of active and/or passive flow control devices for boundary layer flow modification. Many current and future proposed air vehicles have very short or offset diffusers in order to save vehicle weight and create more optimal vehicle/engine integration. Such …

Three-dimensional Mechanisms in Compressor Flows
… of these methods still rely on a two-dimensional and sectional view of aerodynamics at their core. In this thesis it is argued that this view fundamentally limits design by not considering the effect, on separation and loss, of the pressure gradient on the surface of the blade perpendicular to the …
