Flow in the first two-stage of V 94.2 gas turbine is simulated numerically. In this turbine, the second stator is clocked relative to the first stator to different positions. Steady-state analysis was carried out by varying the circumferential relative position of the consecutive stator vanes to study the effects of the clocking on turbine performance. A density based compressible inviscid ...

Abstract—The Maximum entropy principle in spectral analysis was used as an estimator of Direction of Arrival (DoA) of electromagnetic or acoustic sources impinging on an array of sensors, indeed the maximum entropy operator is very efficient when the signals of the radiating sources are ergodic and complex zero mean random processes which is the case for cosmic sources. In this paper, we presen...

this paper concentrates on a new procedure which experimentally recognises gears and bearings faults of a typical gearbox system using a least square support vector machine (lssvm). two wavelet selection criteria maximum energy to shannon entropy ratio and maximum relative wavelet energy are used and compared to select an appropriate wavelet for feature extraction. the fault diagnosis method co...

Information entropy and its extension, which are important generalizations of entropy, are currently applied to many research domains. In this paper, a novel generalized relative entropy is constructed to avoid some defects of traditional relative entropy. We present the structure of generalized relative entropy after the discussion of defects in relative entropy. Moreover, some properties of t...

We establish convergence in the diffusive limit from entropy weak solutions of the equations of compressible gas dynamics with friction to the porous media equation away from vacuum. The result is based on a Lyapunov type of functional provided by a calculation of the relative entropy. The relative entropy method is also employed to establish convergence from entropic weak solutions of viscoela...

In this paper we review various information-theoretic characterizations of the approach to equilibrium in biological systems. The replicator equation, evolutionary game theory, Markov processes and chemical reaction networks all describe the dynamics of a population or probability distribution. Under suitable assumptions, the distribution will approach an equilibrium with the passage of time. R...

We provide a framework so that hyperbolic relaxation systems are endowed with a relative entropy identity. This allows a direct proof of convergence in the regime that the limiting solution is smooth.

A selfconsistent model for charged particles, accounting for quantum confinement, diffusive transport and electrostatic interaction is considered. The electrostatic potential is a solution of a three dimensional Poisson equation with the particle density as the source term. This density is the product of a two dimensional surface density and that of a one dimensional mixed quantum state. The su...
