  • Turbulent flow simulations around the front wing of a racing car 
    Liang, Chen (Cranfield University, 2010-07)
    Aerodynamics has played a more and more important role in motorsports for maximising the race car performance. Amongst all the aerodynamic devices of race car, the front wing plays a vital role. In order to evaluate ...
  • Turbulent Premixed Flame Kernel Growth During The Early Stages Using Direct Numerical Simulation 
    Dunstan, T. D. (Cranfield University, 2008)
    In this thesis Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is used to investigate the development of turbulent premixed flame kernels during the early stages of growth typical of the period following spark ignition. Two distinct ...
  • Two Combustor Engine for Military Applications 
    Soon, Lee Aik (Cranfield University, 2009-08)
    The key requirements for military aircraft are high survivability and mission success rate: the former will “exponentially” increase the latter. The survivability of the aircraft depends crucially on its performance and ...
  • Two-phase flow in a large diameter vertical riser 
    Ali, Shazia Farman (Cranfield University, 2009-02)
    The rapid depletion of hydrocarbon fields around the world has led the industry to search for these resources in ever increasing water depths. In this context, the large diameter (D > 100mm) vertical riser has become a ...
  • Two-phase flow of gas-liquid mixtures on horizontal helical pipes 
    Adedigba, A. G (Cranfield University, 2007-05)
    The aim of this study was to investigate hydrodynamic two -phase (namely water and air) fluid flow characteristics in helical pipes of low amplitude and straight pipes of the same internal-diameter and constructional ...
  • Two-phase slug flow measurement using ultra-sonic techniques in combination with T-Y junctions 
    Khalifa, K. M. (Cranfield University, 2010)
    The accurate measurement of multiphase flows of oil/water/gas is a critical element of oil exploration and production. Thus, over the last three decades; the development and deployment of in-line multiphase flow metering ...
  • Understanding accident investigators : a study of the required skills and behaviours for effective UK inspectors of accidents 
    Flaherty, Sarah (Cranfield University, 2008)
    In the UK, accidents associated with maritime, aviation and rail transport are conducted by the Inspectors of Accidents at the Marine, Air and Rail Accident Investigation Branches. A review of current academic literature ...
  • Understanding the effects of different levels of product monitoring on maintenance operations: A simulation approach 
    Alabdulkarim, Abdullah A. (Cranfield University, 2013-10)
    The move towards integrating products and services has increased significantly. As a result, some business models, such as Product Service Systems (PSS) have been developed. PSS emphasises the sale of use of the product ...
  • A Unified framework for spacecraft operations 
    Verrier, David (Cranfield UniversitySchool of Engineering, College of Aeronautics, 2001-04)
    This work analyses the current state of the art in the Spacecraft Operations domain. It reviews the structure and practices within the European space industry and shows how the industry is generally shaped by national or ...
  • Unsteadiness In An Embedded Axial Compressor Stage 
    Naylor, Edward (Cranfield University, 2008-02)
    Previous research on blade boundary layers in turbomachinery have been recognised to crucially influence the stability and performance of the gas turbine components. The interactions between rotating and stationary blade ...
  • 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 ...
  • Use of diffuse reflections in tunable diode laser spectroscopy 
    Masiyano, Dackson (Cranfield University, 2009-01)
    Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is an optical gas sensing technique in which the emission frequency of a laser diode is tuned over a gas absorption line of interest. A fraction of the radiation is ...
  • Use of domain-specific language in test automation 
    Hussain, Ambreen (Cranfield University, 2013-04)
    The primary aim of this research project was to investigate techniques to replace the complicated process of testing embedded systems in automotive domain. The multi-component domain was composed of different hardware to ...
  • The use of high frequency stress waves for monitoring gears 
    Al-Balushi, K. R. N. (Cranfield University, 1995-09)
    The aim of this research is to investigate the feasibility of using stress waves for condition monitoring of gears. The project involved setting up an experimental rig, carrying out experimental work, acquiring stress ...
  • Use of numerical optimisation to determine on-limit handling behaviour of race cars. 
    Brayshaw, Damien (Cranfield University, 2004-08)
    The aim of this research is to use numerical optimisation to investigate the on-limit behaviour of an open wheel downforce type race car using the best compromise of modelling accuracy and computational effort. The ...
  • The use of optimal estimation techniques in the analysis of gas turbines 
    Provost, M. J. (Cranfield University, 1994-12)
