    Hobbs, Stephen (Cranfield University, 2015-10-07)
    Students of the MSc course in Astronautics and Space Engineering 2014-15 at Cranfield University performed a feasibility study of a geosynchronous radar mission for their group project. This report summarises the students' ...
  • A large advanced freight aircraft: F-81 
    Fielding, J. P. (Cranfield Institute of Technology, 1981-11)
    Commercial air freight operations have grown in importance in recent years, due mainly to cost reductions caused by increasing aircraft and freight-terminal efficiencies. The bulk of this traffic is carried in the ...
  • Large Eddy Simulation of a turbulent swirling coaxial jet 
    Ranga Dinesh, K. K. J.; Savill, Mark A.; Jenkins, Karl W.; Kirkpatrick, M. P. (Inderscience, 2010-12-31)
    This work uses the Large Eddy Simulation (LES) technique to study velocity and passive scalar mixing along with intermittency of a spatially evolving turbulent coaxial swirl jet. The simulations captured the potential ...
  • Large eddy simulation of buoyant plumes 
    Worthy, Jude (Cranfield UniversitySchool of Engineering, 2003-05)
    A 3d parallel CFD code is written to investigate the characteristics of and differences between Large Eddy Simulation (LES) models in the context of simulating a thermal buoyant plume. An efficient multigrid scheme is ...
  • Large eddy simulation using high-resolution and high-order methods 
    Drikakis, Dimitris; Hahn, Marco; Mosedale, Andrew; Thornber, Ben (Royal Society, 2009-07-31)
    Restrictions on computing power make direct numerical simulation too expensive for complex flows; thus, the development of accurate large eddy simulation (LES) methods, which are industrially applicable and efficient, ...
  • Large scale metrology 
    Scarr, A. J. (College of Aeronautics, 19)
    INTRODUCTION It has been recognised in industry that the measurement of large components to high orders of accuracy presents a particularly difficult problem. This fact has been emphasised by a survey carried out by ...
  • Large scale metrology 
    Scarr, A. J. (College of Aeronautics, 1963-04)
    Introduction This interim note covers some of the problems encountered in the measurement of large sizes, up to 80 inches (200 mm), during investigations carried out at the College of Aeronautics. A description of a ...
  • Large-Eddy Simulation of air-fuel mixing in Dry Low NOx GTU Combustor 
    Aguado, Pablo (Cranfield University, 2014-02)
    The in-house code FLAMENCO is developed to simulate the mixing process in a Dry Low NOx GTU Combustor. The physical approach is defined to model 3D-unsteady, compressible, multi-species flows where turbulence plays a ...
