Ubbens, H.H. (author)Bobsleighing is one of the fastest winter sports and races are decided within seconds over total times up to four minutes. Therefore marginal gains in performance of the bobsleigh and its crew can determine the race outcome. In order to improve the performance of a bobsleigh the aerodynamic drag can be investigated. A bobsleigh consists of two...master thesis 2016

Cosenza, D. (author)The handling qualities of an aircraft have always been a crucial field of study, being chiefly concerned with the safety and comfort of flight. Historically, the design-by-discipline approach has been used, thus relegating stability and control considerations to later stages of the design process. In recent years a new view emerged, which...master thesis 2016

Yuvaraj, R. (author)This thesis work illustrates the first of its kind solution to this problem of lack of seeding at vortex core in air flows, by the use of Helium Filled Soap Bubble (HFSB) which is a neutrally buoyant tracer particle in air flows. To analyse the lack of seeding in the vortex core, a 2D numerical simulation of particle motion in vortex flow is...master thesis 2016

Talboom, M.G. (author)The chemical kinetics of the Hybrid Combustion System are investigated using chemical reactor modelling. By developing reactor models for the two combustors of the Hybrid Combustion System, the chemical kinetics are studied for the experiments performed. Furthermore, the reactor models are extended to represent the Hybrid Combustion System in...master thesis 2016

Hageman, R. (author)Concern about the environmental footprint of aviation has re-sparked the interest in unconventional configurations, such as the blended wing body aircraft, BWB. While most research studies recognize the potential of the hybrid-body, they also list a number of challenges. Amongst these challenges is the need for adequate lateral-directional...master thesis 2016

Boersma, J.Y. (author)For conceptual aircraft design to include accurate laminar flow prediction, a link between modern computational tools to determine laminar-to-turbulent boundary layer transition and fast sizing methods is required. For swept wings, it is crucial to include the highly unstable three-dimensional crossflow component of the boundary layer. These...master thesis 2016

Ploumakis, E. (author)Wake effects in wind farms are a major source of power production losses and fatigue loads on the rotors. It has been demonstrated that in large wind farms the only source of kinetic energy to balance that extracted by the turbines is the vertical transport of the free-stream flow kinetic energy from above the wind-turbine canopy. This chapter...master thesis 2016

Faggiano, F. (author)Lately, commercial aviation has been moving towards the reduction of environmental impact and direct operating costs, due to the rapid increase in aircraft demand and air traffic congestion predicted for the next years. Several researchers have been abandoning the fully exploited conventional configuration and exploring novel arrangements, such...master thesis 2016

Lanzillotta, F. (author)The world and the energy landscape are changing at a great pace. The population is increasing, generating a higher demand for resources, new markets are emerging and Aviation Regulation is driving requirements for clean power and low emissions. Therefore, gas manufacturers are committed to reduce the specific fuel consumption by increasing the...master thesis 2016

Cui, L. (author)In computational aeroelasticity, unsteady aerodynamics is computationally expensive compared to the structural calculation. This problem becomes more severe for prediction of flutter or Limit-Cycle oscillation (LCO), which requires multiple runs of simulations at various flow conditions. The former can be captured by linear computational...master thesis 2016

Wei, J.H. (author)This thesis is part of a project that focuses on developing an optimisation framework for dynamically scaled flight testing. The optimisation framework must design the scale model and the flight test such that the performance of the scale model is representative to the full-scale aircraft. The similarity in the performances between the scale...master thesis 2016

Kaloritis, G. (author)New concepts for support structures of offshore wind turbines have gained interest in the industry and are examined for intermediate and deep water depths in order to unlock new offshore potential markets. One of the main proposals that has already been commercialized is the three or four leg full height lattice structure. The fatigue assessment...master thesis 2016

Westerveld, D. (author)Aircraft wings are becoming more flexible, making it important to take this flexibility into account from the start of the design process. With flexible wings, unsteady (time-varying) aerodynamics becomes important. For this reason, an unsteady aerodynamics model was constructed and coupled to an aeroelastic flight mechanics tool. This allows...master thesis 2016
