Fibre optic based sensors are becoming increasingly viable as replacements for traditional flight test sensors. Here we present laboratory, wind tunnel and flight test results of fibre Bragg gratings (FBG) used to measure ...

SPIV is a powerful tool to assess aircraft wing vortex wakes. Current optical systems enable velocity vector measurements at sample rates of 10Hz. This facilitates detailed assessment of flows containing multiple, potentially ...

This paper presents some results comparing the use of the Full Potential equations, coupled with the turbulent integral boundary layer equations for aircraft transonic cruise analysis. Use of such a method in the conceptual ...

The computational prediction of separated turbulent flows in internal ducts is a well-known challenging problem. The flow separation within the diffuser sections of wind tunnels is a significant problem and was the motivation ...
