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 ...

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 ...

This thesis concerns the numerical investigation of suddenly expanded flows featuring separation, instabilities and transition, in the context of Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES). The study of separated flows through ...

Lateral diffusion of membrane components (lipids and proteins) is an important membrane property to measure since the essential process of absorption of anti-cancer and other drugs -some of which are not soluble in lipids ...

The study presented in this document is the result of three years of research into the complex world of Molecular Dynamics applied to biological cell membranes. The simulation of biological tissues involves not only an ...

This work describes and demonstrates a novel numerical framework suitable for simulating the behaviour of freely falling liquid droplets. The specific case studied is designed such that the properties of the system are ...

The K - L and K - ϵ turbulence models are used to simulate the turbulent mixing induced by the Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities. The models contain additional source terms for the turbulence kinetic ...

With the optimisation of fixed aerodynamic shapes reaching its limits, the active flow control concept increasingly attracts attention of both academia and industry. Adaptive wing technology, and shape morphing airfoils ...

Higher resolution and reliability are the desiderata for Computational Fluid Dynamics and main drivers for the development, implementation and validation of highorder accurate methods. Complex fluid dynamic phenomena ...

Numerical methods for the simulation of shock-induced turbulent mixing have been investigated, focussing on Implicit Large Eddy Simulation. Shock-induced turbulent mixing is of particular importance for many astrophysical ...
