Quasi-Dynamic Experimental Investigation of the Internal Flow Field in the Stationary Components of a High-Flow-Coefficient Centrifugal Compressor

This study utilizes a novel quasi-dynamic test rig to simulate impeller wake migration in a high-flow-coefficient centrifugal compressor, revealing that while the U-bend significantly reduces circumferential non-uniformity and return channel vanes induce new fluctuations, the total stage loss remains constant regardless of the wake's circumferential position.

Parallax-aware and MAB-empowered Beam Training for Modular XL-MIMO Systems

This paper proposes a parallax-aware and multi-armed bandit-empowered beam training scheme for modular XL-MIMO systems that synergistically combines adaptive codebook updates with a greedy exponential Thompson sampling strategy to dynamically compress the action space and optimize beam selection, thereby achieving substantial effective spectral efficiency gains with significantly reduced training overhead in hybrid near- and far-field environments.
