The role of the added mass coefficient in vortex induced vibration (VIV) bluff body is complex and elusive. It certain that decoding relationship between pattern will benefit prediction prevention VIV. We present a study on VIV long flexible cylinder forced rigid cylinder, combination experimental optical measurements high-fidelity numerical simulation. focus uniform flow over at fixed Reynolds...

We study moving-target defense (MTD) that actively perturbs transmission line reactances to thwart stealthy false data injection (FDI) attacks against state estimation in a power grid. Prior work on this topic has proposed MTD based on randomly selected reactance perturbations, but these perturbations cannot guarantee effective attack detection. To address the issue, we present formal design cr...

The flow-induced deformation of a membrane in a flow with a pressure gradient is studied. The investigation focuses on the deformation of aerodynamically loaded convertible car roofs. A computational methodology is developed with a line-element structural model that incorporates initial slackness of the flexible roof material. The computed flow-structure interaction yields stable solutions, the...

this research, for the first time presents the flexible flow shop model of scheduling method for considering runway assignment and operations planning together. one of the advantages of the developed model is considering the procedures of air routes in terminal airspace and separation between consecutive aircraft which is very similar to the real world condition. there are different objective f...

Here, we report a stable and predictable aero-elastic motion in the flow-driven energy harvester, which is different from flapping and vortex-induced-vibration (VIV). A unified theoretical frame work that describes the flutter phenomenon observed in both "stiff" and "flexible" materials for flow driven energy harvester was presented in this work. We prove flutter in both types of materials is t...

Due to the deregulation of the electrical market, difficulty in acquiring rights-of-way to build new transmission lines, and steady increase in power demand, maintaining power system stability becomes a difficult and very challenging problem. In large, interconnected power systems, power system damping is often reduced, leading to lightly damped electromechanical modes of oscillations. Implemen...

Due to the rising power demand and increasing population worldwide, electrical power networks have been extensively growing and striving to satisfy the escalating loads. This necessitates the need for using Flexible AC Transmission System (FACTS) devices which have become indispensable during normal and abnormal operating conditions. This paper investigates the impact of using series FACTS devi...

This paper focuses on the performance analysis of FACTS devices namely SVC and TCSC in steady state power flow control. Application of Flexible AC Transmission Systems (FACTS) devices in a power system network is an efficient way for the control and transfer of bulk amount of power for long distances. The performance of SVC and TCSC for reactive power injection, real power flow, power loss and ...
