    This study presents a detailed numerical investigation of the flow dynamics and turbulence characteristics in a Trapped Vortex Combustor (TVC) using Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) models. Three turbulence models — Reynolds Stress Model (RSM), Realizable k–[Formula: see text] and SST-[Formula: see text] — were evaluated to assess their predictive accuracy in capturing pressure drop, recirculation behavior and flow structure across various Reynolds numbers and cavity geometries. Simulations were performed in ANSYS Fluent, and a grid independence study confirmed 30[Formula: see text]000 cells as optimal for balancing accuracy and computational cost. Validation against experimental data revealed that the RSM model offered the highest accuracy, with a maximum deviation of 12.1%, compared to 23.9% and 26.7% for SST-[Formula: see text] and Realizable k–[Formula: see text], respectively. The analysis showed that increasing the Reynolds number by 300% intensified turbulence levels ten-fold and strengthened recirculation zones three-fold, without altering the overall vortex structure. An optimal cavity aspect ratio ([Formula: see text]) was identified, producing two dominant vortices and minimizing pressure loss. These findings highlight the importance of turbulence model selection and cavity design in enhancing combustor performance and offer guidance for the preliminary design of efficient, low-pressure-loss propulsion systems.

    Bio-energy plants play a key role in the transition toward low-carbon energy systems, yet their large-scale deployment is constrained by variability in syngas quality, biofuel instability during storage, and fluctuating air pollutant emissions. This review examines how machine learning (ML) methods support improved decision-making across bio-energy value chains by linking multi-source data with predictive and adaptive control strategies. The study synthesizes recent advances in ML-based modelling for syngas composition prediction, biofuel stability assessment, and real-time emission monitoring and mitigation. Emphasis is placed on uncertainty-aware models and hybrid approaches that combine data-driven learning with process knowledge to address feedstock heterogeneity and dynamic operating conditions. The findings show that ML enhances operational efficiency, supports cleaner production, and improves system reliability by enabling proactive control rather than reactive adjustments. From a sustainability perspective, these outcomes directly contribute to SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) through higher efficiency and reliability of bio-energy systems, SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure) by promoting intelligent and resilient industrial processes, SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) via optimized resource use and reduced waste, and SDG 13 (Climate Action) through lower emissions and improved carbon performance. Overall, the review highlights ML as a practical decision-support tool for industry and policy stakeholders seeking resilient, data-driven pathways toward sustainable bio-energy deployment.

  • A Novel PAPR reduction method using Schur decomposition in CAZAC transform based precoded OFDM for Beyond 5G Applications
    N. Bharathiraja, Suseela Vappangi, T. Deepa, V.V. Mani
    Physical Communication, 2025
    In the recent times, the demand for better spectral efficiency and lower power consumption has increased significantly. As a result, effective methods for reducing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) are crucial. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a fundamental technology in 5G and Beyond 5G (B5G) systems. To enhance its performance, implementing an efficient PAPR reduction technique is necessary. Based upon these grounds, this paper introduces a novel PAPR reduction method that integrates Schur decomposition with Walsh–Hadamard Transform (WHT) and Constant Amplitude Zero Auto-Correlation (CAZAC) transform in a precoded OFDM system. The mathematical expression of the time-domain signal for the proposed Schur-based WHT+CAZAC-OFDM system is derived. The simulation results of this work unveil that the proposed SCHUR+WHT+CAZAC-based OFDM system significantly minimizes PAPR by exhibiting a remarkable PAPR reduction of 8.736 dB and 9.86 dB compared to conventional OFDM over AWGN and Rayleigh Fading channels . In addition, the proposed system enhances spectral containment, and reduces spectral regrowth with substantial improvement in power spectral density (PSD) performance. A comparative analysis with singular value decomposition (SVD) and QR decomposition-based approaches is also performed. The results indicate that all three techniques effectively reduce PAPR. However, the SCHUR+WHT+CAZAC method achieves a better balance between computational complexity and overall performance. These advancements make it highly suitable for various B5G applications, including ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), massive machine-type communications (mMTC), and enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), where high data rates, low latency, and reliable connectivity are crucial.

    Proceedings of 2025 1st International Conference on Radio Frequency Communication and Networks Rfcon 2025, 2025
    Modern communication systems are currently dependent heavily on Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) because of its spectral effectiveness as well as resistance to multipath fading. But the reliability and performance of OFDM systems are highly limited, most notably in real-world applications, by inherent problems such as high Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR), nonlinear distortions, and degradation in Bit Error Rate (BER). For future generation communication systems to operate effectively and efficiently, these gaps need to be filled. With a view to reduce the adverse effects of PAPR and BER degradation, this paper seeks to set and develop a multi-carrier communication system with advanced precoding methods. Precoding will receive particular focus throughout the study, with methods such as Walsh Hadamard Transform (WHT), Schur Precoded OFDM, and Zadoff-Chu Transform (ZCT). This study aims to enhance the overall performance of multi-carrier systems through the integration of multiple approaches. IIn order to validate the efficiency of the techniques utilized, including precoding-free OFDM, the new approach would be simulated and compared with existing techniques. PAPR and BER are some of the key performance metrics that will be utilized for comparison, assessing the efficiency of the system in power consumption and error-free data transmission under normal and adverse conditions. The findings obtained through the simulation and analysis will be utilized to demonstrate how different precoding techniques work under different conditions. The results will inform future implementations in future-generation communication systems by assisting in determining which precoding techniques are most appropriate for specific system characteristics. The goal of this work is bridging the gap between precoding success in the literature and practice. This research provides valuable new knowledge for future technology more stable and efficient multi-carrier communication systems by comparing their ability to perform.
