We are glad to invite Dr. Mota to deliver an Aerospace@CityU seminar about hypergolic green propellants for aerospace propulsion. After the seminar, we had an in-depth discussion on hypergolic ignition by droplet collisions and future collaboration. A dinner was hosted to welcome Dr. Mota’s visiting.
Best Paper Award
T. Yang and P. Zhang*, Flickering Buoyant Diffusion Flames in Rotatory Flows, the Best Paper in Laminar Flame Colloquium of China National Symposium on Combustion, Shanghai, China, December 9-11, 2022.
Newly Accepted Papers
A paper has been recently accepted by Combustion and Flame: Dynamical Mode Recognition of Triple Flickering Buoyant Diffusion Flames in Wasserstein Space. Please refer to the preprint version.
A paper has been recently published by The Journal of Physical Chemistry A: A Metric-based Assessment Method for MS-T Formalism with Small Subsets of Torsional Conformers. Please refer to the online version.
These two papers on different topics use the same mathematical concept of metric (distance function), one defined in a probability space and the other in a high-dimensional space of dihedral angles of molecules.
