Journal Article
Settou, B., Settou, N., Gahrar, Y., Negrou, B., Bouferrouk, A., Gouareh, A., & Mokhtara, C. (2022). Geographic information-driven two-stage optimization model for location decision of solar power plant: A case study of an Algerian municipality. Sustainable Cities and Society, 77, Article 103567. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2021.103567

This paper presents an interdisciplinary framework for optimal mapping and integration of solar photovoltaic based DG systems. In a two-stage process, the proposed framework combines both spatial and technical-economic analysis, and uses efficient op...

Thermal control for electric vehicle based on the multistack fuel cells (2021)
Journal Article
Chetouane, M. A., Negrou, B., Becherif, M., Settou, N., Bouferrouk, A., & Ramadan, M. (2021). Thermal control for electric vehicle based on the multistack fuel cells. Energy Technology, 9(9), Article 2100242. https://doi.org/10.1002/ente.202100242

Pollution, global climate change, and the scarcity of fossil fuel reserves have forced the automotive industry to step up its research efforts on clean fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). In fact, these systems can be considered relatively pollution... Read More about Thermal control for electric vehicle based on the multistack fuel cells.

Aerodynamic and aeroacoustic analysis of a harmonically morphing airfoil using dynamic meshing (2021)
Journal Article
Abdessemed, C., Bouferrouk, A., & Yao, Y. (2021). Aerodynamic and aeroacoustic analysis of a harmonically morphing airfoil using dynamic meshing. Acoustics, 3(1), 177-199. https://doi.org/10.3390/acoustics3010013

This work explores the aerodynamic and aeroacoustic responses of an airfoil fitted with a harmonically morphing Trailing Edge Flap (TEF). An unsteady parametrization method adapted for harmonic morphing is introduced, and then coupled with dynamic me...
