Injecting a gas phase into a liquid phase result in a fluid dynamic phenomenology that is substantial, magnetizing, and fascinating. Bubble columns modelling functioning in the bubbly, slug, churn, and annular turbulent flow regime is a major challenge due to their complicated and ephemeral nature. An important modelling choice is how to represent the bubble size distribution. This may be accomplished in several ways, from the relatively simple one of utilizing a single representative bubble size to more intricate techniques. To evaluate the computational findings, we have analysed and discussed several turbulence models in this comparative research. Furthermore, this review summarises the current inter-facial force models, which include turbulent dispersion force, lift force, drag force, wall lubrication force, and virtual mass force.

This method couples the optimization method with the adaptive performance model, which is built using accurate component characteristics and internal/external bypass mass flow rate within the engine test. Experiment methods of component characteristics measurement in different operating status under the condition of the whole engine are also developed, which capture the entire characteristics maps rather than the mini maps along the operating line. It also establishes calculation method of the core mass flow rate based on the critical characteristics of the high-pressure turbine.

The mentioned robotic system, which consists of six arms with motors attached to each end, possesses a unique feature: it uses the minimum actuator required to reach a specific position in space with a defined orientation. To achieve this, it is vital to install the motors with an appropriate arrangement positioned at the end of each arm to ensure the robot's controllability. On the other hand, two virtual arms with zero lengths were used to describe the robot's orientation with regard to the inertial coordinate system in a tangible manner. One of the innovations carried out in this article is the standardization of the derivation of the motion equations of this robotic system procedure. For this purpose, first, the platform of the hexacopter is separated into several substructures. Following the previous step, the dynamic equations of each of these infrastructures are extracted in explicit form accordingly. Finally, the symbolic equations are merged, and as a result, the dynamic behavior of this aerial robot is formulated. The focus of this research is mainly on hexacopters. However, the presented method is generic enough to cover all aerial robots of this kind (with any number of arms and any relative arrangement between the members).
