Simulation of a Reacting Hydrogen Jet in Air Cross-Flow: Analysis of Inter-jet Spacing Impact in Gas Turbine Design

This study employs highly resolved simulations to evaluate the impact of injector spacing on a reacting hydrogen jet in a hot air cross-flow, revealing that intermediate-to-wide spacing (approximately eight diameters) offers the optimal design trade-off by balancing unburnt hydrogen throughput, wall heat transfer, and flow stability.

Privacy Specifications that do not Compose: Empirical and Formal Auditing of Sequentially Published Energy Data

This paper demonstrates that sequentially published energy data often fails to uphold privacy promises over time, as repeated annual releases allow for the inference of sensitive marginal group information through simple subtraction, necessitating a shift from auditing isolated files to evaluating the entire sequence using new metrics like "specification half-life."

Manufacturing Process Effects on Multiaxial Mechanical Behavior and Anisotropy Evolution of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites for Automotive Applications

This study establishes a clear process-structure-anisotropy relationship by demonstrating that vacuum-assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) generally enhances fiber volume fraction and stiffness-dominated behaviors in carbon, glass, and basalt fiber-reinforced polymer composites compared to hand layup, while significantly influencing multiaxial mechanical properties and anisotropy indices critical for optimizing lightweight automotive structures.
