The feasibility of hydrogen fuel cells as a solution toward zero emissions in general aviation aircraft (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Charman, J., & Bouferrouk, A. (2024). The feasibility of hydrogen fuel cells as a solution toward zero emissions in general aviation aircraft. In Solutions for Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (323-330). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-38446-2_36

In this chapter, hydrogen fuel cell (HFC) technology is investigated as a solution for the general aviation industry. A modified Cessna 172 installed with poly-membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) was modelled through MATLAB/Simulink software with Hydrogen (...

Evaluating the effects of a morphed trailing edge flap for aeroacoustics applications (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Watkins, J. C., & Bouferrouk, A. (2024). Evaluating the effects of a morphed trailing edge flap for aeroacoustics applications. In Solutions for Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (289-297). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-38446-2_33

This chapter summarises the results of 2D CFD simulations of a 30P30N aerofoil section (without a leading edge slat) equipped with a morphing trailing edge flap (TEF). Numerical simulations are carried out at a fixed angle of attack of 8°, with f lap... Read More about Evaluating the effects of a morphed trailing edge flap for aeroacoustics applications.

Numerical framework for aerodynamic and aeroacoustics of bio-inspired UAV blades (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Wilkins, R., & Bouferrouk, A. (2023). Numerical framework for aerodynamic and aeroacoustics of bio-inspired UAV blades. . https://doi.org/10.13009/EUCASS2023-948

With the aim to understand and control the noise from small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), this work presents a numerical framework for small-scale rotor blade, employing a bio-inspired finlet design. The simulation framework employs Direct Eddy Si... Read More about Numerical framework for aerodynamic and aeroacoustics of bio-inspired UAV blades.

A simplified digital twin framework of a trainer aircraft (2023)
Conference Proceeding
Reinhardt, D., & Bouferrouk, A. (2023). A simplified digital twin framework of a trainer aircraft. . https://doi.org/10.13009/EUCASS2023-965

This paper aims to establish a simplified, user-friendly framework for a Digital Twin (DT) of a PC21 jet trainer aircraft. The implementation of the DT is carried out in Matlab with the aid of embedded Neural Network tools. The aircraft is trained a...
