A diplexer with direct coupled resonant junction (2021)
Journal Article

Conventionally, diplexers are designed by connecting two filters of different frequencies using a transmission T-line junction which acts as a distribution network serving the individual filters. Here, a novel diplexer has been proposed and designed... Read More about A diplexer with direct coupled resonant junction.

Numerical investigation of the effect of flutter instability of the blade on the unsteady flow in a modern low-pressure turbine (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Modern aeronautical Low-Pressure Turbines (LPTs) are prone to aeroelastic instability problems such as flutter. The aerodynamic performance of a modern LPT is often influenced by the interaction between the transient flow and the dynamic behaviour of...
