  • Passive flow control devices for a multi megawatt horizontal axis wind turbine 
    Vimalakanthan, Kisorthman (Cranfield University, 2014-03)
    Renewable energy is an environmentally friendly alternative to the use of fossil fuels. In response to reducing the dependency on fossil fuels, the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) has made a policy to increase ...
  • Propulsion system integration and modelling synthesis 
    Christie, Robert (Cranfield University, 2016-07)
    Concerns over fuel costs, along with the ever increasing requirement to reduce the impact of emissions, means that the world's airlines continue to introduce low-noise and more fuel-efficient aircraft into their fleet. ...
  • Reduced-order modelling for high-speed aerial weapon aerodynamics 
    Mifsud, Michael (Cranfield University, 2008-10)
    In this work a high-fidelity low-cost surrogate of a computational fluid dynamics analysis tool was developed. This computational tool is composed of general and physics- based approximation methods by which three ...
  • Refuelling tanker aerodynamics and hose characteristics 
    Liggieri, Antonio (Cranfield University, 2012-12)
    The present work is conducted within the context of air to air refuelling technologies and aims at the development of an understanding of a typical refuelling tanker wake like that of an A330 [54] and the A400M [54]. The ...
  • Tightly-wound vortex and self-generated intake distortion effects on turbomachinery performance 
    di Cugno, Domenico (2013-07)
    Current developments of civil and military applications may require the installation of aero-engines embedded into the aircraft structure. Consequently, complex diffusing Sducts are necessary to convey air from the intake ...
  • Unsteady aerodynamics of high work turbines 
    Richardson, David (Cranfield University, 2009-10)
    One method aircraft engine manufactures use to minimize engine cost and weight is to reduce the number of parts. A significant reduction includes reducing the turbine blade count or combining two moderately loaded turbines ...
