Interaction between the shear layer, shock-wave and vortex ring in a starting free jet injecting into a plenum

While continuous free jets have been investigated and optimised during the last 60 years, the impulsively started jet is still relatively unexplored. We focus here upon the very first stage of a compressible free round jet, when the flow is only few diameters long and the vortex ring generated by the sudden expansion interacts with the shock...

Dynamic communications for small satellites using disruption tolerant network concepts

New network technologies are providing interconnectivity in areas previously unheard of. One of these novel technologies, named Disruption Tolerant Networking (DTN), shows promise for the space industry. In order to study its suitability for University projects, a model of a University space mission has been created using network simulation...
