    A new technique to simultaneously and instantaneously resolve 3D velocity/2D strain rate fields and scalar/scalar gradient fields was developed and evaluated in this study. This technique combines Planar Laser Induced ...
  • Journey predictive energy management strategy for a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle 
    Dharmaraj Ram Manohar, Ravi Shankar (Cranfield University, 2013-05)
    The adoption of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) is widely seen as an interim solution for the decarbonisation of the transport sector. Within a PHEV, determining the required energy storage capacity of the battery ...
  • Kinematic Simulation and Structure Analysis of a Morphing Flap 
    Guo, Shixian (Cranfield University, 2013-12)
    This thesis presents a study on the design and analysis of a morphing flap structure integrated with actuation mechanism for potential application to large aircraft. Unlike the conventional rigid flap mounted on the wing ...
  • A knowledge based manufacturing advisor for CAD 
    Lockett, Helen L. (Cranfield UniversitySchool of Engineering, 2005-07)
    This thesis presents a knowledge based manufacturing advisor for Computer Aided Design. The aim of the project has been to develop techniques that can help designers to evaluate the manufacturability of moulded parts ...
  • Knowledge-based cost modelling for innovative design 
    Rehman, S. (Cranfield University, 2000)
    The contribution to new knowledge from this research is a novel method for modelling production costs throughout the design phase of a product's lifecycle, from conceptual to detail design. The provision of cost data ...
  • Langmuir-Blodgett films of porphyrins and phthalocyanines 
    Portus, Dan (Cranfield University, 2002)
    Phthalocyanines and porphyrins have been studied for many years as bulk, thick and thin films. Their use in Langmuir and Langmuir-Blodgett films is governed their peripheral substituents. These can enhance or reduce their ...
  • Lap time simulation with transient vehicle and tyre dynamics 
    Kelly, Daniel Patrick (Cranfield University, 2008-05-07)
    A numerical method is presented for the time optimal control of the race car. The method is then used to perform the role of the driver in numerical simulations of manoeuvres at the limit of race car performance. The ...
  • 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 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 ...
  • Laser diagnosis of gas turbine fuel sprays; scaling effects on NOx emissions and stability 
    Hussain, Mazhur (Cranfield University, 2009-12)
    This thesis first provided strategic recommendations for the research sponsor, Rolls- Royce plc (RR) and then applied optical diagnostics to measure aero gas turbine fuel spray properties in order to predict Oxides of ...
  • Lateral aerodynamic characteristics of motor vehicles in transient crosswinds 
    Cairns, Robert Stuart (Cranfield University, 1994-07)
    Motor car crosswind stability can be adversely affected by reductions in both vehicle mass and drag coefficient. As these are two likely results of future developments the importance of research into vehicle aerodynamic ...
  • Lateral jet interaction with a supersonic crossflow 
    Christie, Robert (Cranfield University, 2010-10)
    A lateral jet in a supersonic crossflow creates a highly complex three-dimensional flow field which is not easily predicted. The aim of this research was to assess the use of a RANS based CFD method to simulate a lateral ...
  • Leadership and organisation as a function of the different prevailing professional cultures 
    Lumpé, Marc-Philippe (Cranfield University, 2006-01)
    The following research project develops leadership and organisational structures that are in accordance with the requirements created by different professional backgrounds. In order to do, that the theoretical construct ...
  • Lean premixed combustion models at elevated pressure for the gas turbine 
    Wood, J. P. (Cranfield University, 2004-07)
    The latter half of the 20th century has seen great strides made in understanding premixed combustion, and this combined with advances in computing, has lead to significantly improved combustion models. Over the same ...
  • Legibility of machine readable codes used for gas turbine part tracking 
    Duncombe, Andrew (Cranfield University, 2012-01)
    Gas turbines are comprised of many parts, which are often expensive and required to survive a harsh environment for significant periods (with or without reconditioning). To differentiate between parts, and facilitate ...
  • Life cycle assessment of composites and aluminium use in aircraft systems 
    Liu, Ziqian (Cranfield University, 2013-10)
    As a consequence of the gradually expanding aviation network, civil aircrafts are occupying an increasingly high proportion of the transport industry. Air transport now dominates the intercity rapid transit, long-distance ...
