  • Wake affected boundary layer flows within an embedded stage of a multi-stage axial compressor 
    Lee, D. Y. (2001-06)
    Boundary Layer Flows in turbomachines have been recognised to crucially influence the stability and performance of gas turbine components particularly the compressor since its function is to provide a pressure rise through ...
  • Wake characterisation and simulation for ground vehicles 
    Soares, Renan Francisco (2020-04)
    This project aims to develop a generic, adaptable device able to emulate the distinct aerodynamic wake characteristics corresponding to different closed-wheel automotive vehicle categories, avoiding the use ...
  • Wake Vortex Modelling and Simulation for Air Vehicles in Close Formation Flight 
    Saban, Deborah (Cranfield University, 2010-01)
    The aim of this research is to develop realistic models of aerodynamic cross-coupling e ects that can be incorporated in real-time or near real-time simulations of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in close formation flight. ...
  • Wall oscillation induced drag reduction zone in a turbulent boundary layer 
    Skote, Martin; Mishra, Maneesh; Wu, Yanhua (Springer, 2018-08-30)
    Spanwise oscillation applied on the wall under a turbulent boundary layer flow is investigated using direct numerical simulation. The temporal wall-forcing produces a considerable drag reduction (DR) over the region where ...
  • Wall pressure fluctuations under turbulent boundary layers at subsonic and supersonic speeds 
    Lilley, G. M. (College of Aeronautics, 1963-03)
    The problem of pressure fluctuations at a rigid wall under a turbulent boundary layer has attracted much attention in the past decade. At low Mach numbers the theory is well established from the work of Kraichnan and ...
  • Wall-resolved large eddy simulation for aeroengine aeroacoustic investigation 
    Lin, Yujing; Vadlamani, Rao; Savill, Mark; Tucker, Paul (Cambridge University Press, 2017-06-22)
    The work presented here forms part of a larger project on Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) of aeroengine aeroacoustic interactions. In this paper, we concentrate on LES of near-field flow over an isolated NACA0012 aerofoil at ...
  • Wall-resolved large eddy simulation over NACA0012 airfoil 
    Lin, Yujing; Savill, Mark A.; Vadlamani, Nagabhushana Rao (Scientific & Academic Publishing Co., 2013)
    The work presented here forms part of a project on Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) of aeroengine aeroacoustic interactions. In this paper we concentrate on LES of near-field flow over an isolated NACA0012 airfoil at zero angle ...
  • Warehouse design: A structured approach. 
    Baker, Peter; Canessa, Marco (Elsevier, 2009-03-01)
    In spite of the importance of warehousing to the customer service and cost levels of many businesses, there is currently not a comprehensive systematic method for designing warehouses. In this paper, the current literature ...
  • Warehouse model: report no. 1 
    Kay, E. (College of Aeronautics, 1966)
    1.1 The purpose of the research project has been outlined in Appendix 5 of the report to the Research Fellowship Council Meeting on 10th November, 1955. 1.2 In this first report we consider the simplest model of a ...
  • Warehouse model: report no. 2 
    Kay, E. (College of Aeronautics, 1966)
    1.1. Report No. 1 dealt with the simple warehouse model in a static sense. This was sufficient, the only consideration being optimisation of handling, i.e. the problem posed was spatial. The problem becomes a dynamic ...
  • Wargaming - What Have You Got To Lose? 
    Franken, Arnoud (2015-05-26)
  • The warm forming of aluminium/magnesium alloy sheet 
    Shehata, Farouk (Cranfield University, 1979-08)
    The desire to reduce the overall motor vehicle weight, and so use less fuel, means that aluminium alloys are now being considered for car bodies. Unfortunately, increase in strength generally leads to a decrease in ...
  • Warranty claim analysis considering human factors 
    Wu, Shaomin (Elsevier, 2011-01)
    Warranty claims are not always due to product failures. They can also be caused by two types of human factors. On the one hand, consumers might claim warranty due to misuse and/or failures caused by other human factors. ...
  • Warrior vehicle fleet sustainment using intelligent agent simulation 
    Fan, Ip-Shing; Jennions, Ian K.; Matar, Fadi; Bridgeford, Malcolm; Osborn, Steve; Vickers, Gary (Elsevier, 2013-09-27)
    The Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle(IFV) is one of the key tracked combat vehicles in the UK Army. It was first introduced in 1988. A modernisation programme is currently underway to enhance 643 vehicles to serve to 2040 ...
  • Wasim - Tutorial Manual 
    Hess, Tim M. (2011-01-14)
    A case study tutorial for use with the Wasim soil water balance simulation model, based on irrigated potatoes in the UK.
  • Waste heat recovery integration options for commercial bakeries in a thermo-economic-environmental perspective 
    Chowdhury, Jahedul Islam; Asfand, Faisal; Ja’fari, Mohammad; Mukherjee, Sanjay; Balta-Ozkan, Nazmiye (Elsevier, 2023-11-11)
    In commercial bakeries, a substantial amount of heat is exhausted which is not only a waste of useful resource, but also contributes to higher fuel consumption and carbon emissions, if not recovered. In this study, waste ...
  • Waste management within a public organisation 
    Dlamini, Delly (Cranfield UniversitySAS, 2008-09)
    Through air pollution from landfill, the increase in waste generation poses a local and global threat to the environment. The UK government recognises organisations’ contribution to meeting raised targets for waste ...
