The main scope of this PhD thesis is the analysis of unsteady laminar and transitional suddenly expanded flows. For this reason Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES) approach was used in combination with high order, high ...

A high-order Discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method is formulated and implemented on the Cranfield University’s 3D unstructured Finite Volume Method (FVM) code (UCNS3D), for both linear and non-linear hyperbolic conservation ...

This PhD programme was sponsored by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA). The aim of this study is to conduct advanced computational modelling of a cooling device used in the fusion process which recycles ...

Effective understanding of gas flow is important to ensure efficient operation of gas neutralizer systems such as those used at the Joint European Torus (JET), which form part of invaluable heating systems for nuclear ...

In this thesis, the flow around a cylinder is chosen as a test case for higher-order numerical reconstruction techniques. No direct comparison of these higher-order methods has been carried out for this particular test ...

Ducts can be found in ventilation systems, cooling ducts and blade passages of turbines, centrifugal pumps and many other engineering installations. The properties of the flow in ducts can significantly affect the performance ...

This thesis concerns the numerical simulation of dilute macromolecular solutions. Present work details the development of a novel mesoscale simulation method. The developed modeling approach is capable to describe both ...
