A Medium-Fidelity Method for Rapid Maximum Lift Estimation

A medium fidelity tool has been developed for the computation of a wing's maximum lift coefficient in low speed while adhering to conceptual aircraft details. This tool is part of the Initiator which is a conceptual/preliminary aircraft design tool developed by the FPP group. The methodology comprises out of a synergy between empirical...

Improving Spatial Resolution of Tomo-PIV using Particle Tracks with Vortex-in-Cell

Tomographic PIV is one of the most recent and advanced tools used in experimental fluid dynamics. Low spatial resolution is currently a problem in large scale tomo-PIV as concentration. A novel technique is proposed which leverages the temporal information of full Lagrangian particle tracks to improve the spatial resolution of tomo-PIV in low...

Transient modelling and analysis of the OP16 gas turbine in GSP

With the current trend towards flexible engine operation with high efficiency and low emissions, dynamic modelling of gas turbines has become critical to ensure safe and acceptable engine performance. Dynamic models are essential for design and development of control systems and for analysis of transient manoeuvres that are impractical to test....
