This study concerns numerical simulation, modeling and optimization of aerodynamic stall control using a synthetic jet actuator. The numerical simulation was carried out by a large-eddy simulation that employs a RNG-based model as the subgrid-scale model. The flow around a NACA0015 airfoil, including a synthetic jet located at 10 % of the chord, is studied under Reynolds number Re = 12.7 × 10 a...

in this study, a model for estimating the nfs thermal conductivity by using a gmdh-pnn has been investigated. nfs thermal conductivity was modeled as a function of the nanoparticle size, temperature, nanoparticle volume fraction and the thermal conductivity of the base fluid and nanoparticles. for this purpose, the developed network contains 8 layers with 2 inputs in each layer and also trainin...

The current study proposes a two-step approach for pore facies characterization in the carbonate reservoirs with an example from the Kangan and Dalanformations in the South Pars gas field. In the first step, pore facies were determined based on Mercury Injection Capillary Pressure (MICP) data incorporation with the Hierarchical Clustering Analysis (HCA) method. In the next step, polynomial meta...

Group Method of Data Handling (GMDH)-type neural network algorithms are the heuristic self organization method for the modelling of complex systems. GMDH algorithms are utilized for a variety of purposes, examples include identification of physical laws, the extrapolation of physical fields, pattern recognition, clustering, the approximation of multidimensional processes, forecasting without mo...

tthe uncertainty estimation and compensation are challenging problems for the robust control of robot manipulators which are complex systems. this paper presents a novel decentralized model-free robust controller for electrically driven robot manipulators. as a novelty, the proposed controller employs a simple gaussian radial-basis-function network as an uncertainty estimator. the proposed netw...
