Aerodynamic Interaction Effects Between a Propeller Slipstream and Flap Boundary Layer: A numerical study

This thesis investigates the aerodynamics of a propeller-wing-flap system, spurred by the growing interest in propeller-driven aircraft and the potential introduction of distributed electric propulsion. The research focuses on the complex flowfield involving the interaction of the propeller slipstream with the main wing and flap at high-lift...

Evaluation of the implementation of a Flettner rotor on a Exploration cruise vessel with respect to the roll motion and rotor-superstructure interaction

A Study on the Sloshing Motions within a Rectangular Moonpool and the Effect of Implementing Appendages: A Computational Fluid Dynamics Approach

Moonpools are vertical wells used on most offshore vessels at Huisman Equipment. The oscillations in the moonpool lead to a significant increase in resistance for vessels in transit conditions. In the concept design phase it has proven difficult to predict the moonpool behaviour, as well as the effect of implementing appendages within a long...
