Measurement of three-dimensional coherent fluid structure in high Reynolds number turbulent boundary layers
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2012-07-03)
The turbulent boundary layer is an aspect of fluid flow which dominates the performance of many engineering systems - yet the analytic solution of such flows is intractable for most applications. Our understanding of ...
Turbulence ingestion noise of open rotors
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2012-04-10)
Renewed interest in open rotor aeroengines, due to their fuel efficiency, has driven renewed interest in all aspects of the noise they generate. Noise due to the ingestion of distorted atmospheric turbulence, known as ...
Simulations of turbulent swirl combustors
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringSelwyn College, 2012-07-03)
This thesis aims at improving our knowledge on swirl combustors. The work presented here is based on Large Eddy Simulations (LES) coupled to an advanced combustion model: the Conditional Moment Closure (CMC). Numerical
