Abstract:

Over the last century, the problem of a viscous flow past a sphere has received on-going attention due to its many engineering applications. These include combustion processes, sediment transport processes and atmospheric flow problems, where the sphere serves as a good model for more general bluff body particles. In these environments, particles may be subjected to both translational and rotational velocities. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect that sphere rotation, about an axis transverse to the freestream flow, has on the characteristics or the vertical wake struc

Abstract:

Driven cyclic or periodic motion is a recurrent feature of many of the microscopic mechanical systems that support life. For example, fields of cilia, nano-scale hair-like structures, beat together to transport fluids though mammalian tracts. Bacteria and other micro-organisms are able to swim using similar organelles known as flagella, while "molecular motors" provide traction in muscle tissue. These mechanisms rely on the hydrodynamics and statistical mechanics of driven cyclic motion at the micro-scale. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate these principles in an abstract sense, in o

Abstract:

The study of swimming micro-organisms has been of interest not just to biologists, but also to fluid dynamicists for over a century. As they are rarely in isolation, much interest has been focused on the study of the swimmers’ interaction with their environment. By virtue of the typically small sizes of these organisms and their swimming protocols, the characteristic Reynolds number of the motion of the fluid around them is small. Hence they reside in a Stokes flow regime where viscous forces dominate inertial effects and where far-field interactions (e.g. with nearby walls) can have a signifi

Most small UAV or MAV propellers are commercial, off-the-shelf products given their availability and low cost. Unfortunately, the off-the-shelf propellers are not tailored to a specific vehicle and/or mission. Only limited technical and performance data is available for the propellers.

When the paper web and press felt enter a nip in the press section of a paper machine, both the paper web and felt are compressed. Water is forced from the paper sheet into the press felt due to a hydrodynamic pressure gradient between the sheet and felt. Water not only flows through the felt in the transversal z-direction, but also flows through the felt in the machine and cross-machine directions. On the exit side of the nip, the pressure imposed on the sheet-felt system by the rolls begins to decrease. Both the paper web and press felt begin to expand, and a vacuum is created in the web

Abstract:

A Newtonian fluid is one for which the stress induced by flow is proportional to the strain rate, with the constant of proportionality being the fluid's viscosity. Fluids not adhering to this linear relationship are described as non-Newtonian. This thesis considers several problems involving flows of generalized non-Newtonian fluids - where the effective viscosity is a nonlinear function of the strain rate - experiencing negligible inertial effects. First, we consider the flow of a power-law fluid through a rectangular duct. We propose a numerical method of solution, reliant on expressing the

Abstract:

There is a continual demand for a reduction in the cost and weight of aero-engines. Suppliers of engines always need to reduce manufacturing costs and airlines want to carry more passengers or cargo. This thesis will show that reducing the number of blades in the low pressure turbine is a potent way of achieving both of these goals. Through a program of experimental and numerical work, it is shown how it is possible to reduce the number of blades in the turbine by approximately 15% relative to the first generation of high lift blading employed in the BMW Rolls-Royce BR715 low pressure turbine.

The swimmer progresses through a low Reynolds number, nonlinear, viscoelastic medium. The model developed illustrates that the presence of the viscoelastic rheology, when compared to a Newtonian environment, increases both the net displacemen

Abstract:

The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a simple and highly efficient method for computing nearly incompressible fluid flow. However, it is well known to suffer from numerical instabilities for low values of the transport coefficients. This dissertation examines a number of methods for increasing the stability of the LBM over a wide range of parameters. First, we consider a simple transformation that renders the standard LB equation implicit. It is found that the stability is largely unchanged. Next, we consider a stabilization method based on introducing a Lyapunov function which is essentially

An axial compressor for a domestic appliance can be designed to be smaller than an equivalent centrifugal compressor. However, the performance of such a compact axial compression system is limited by increased viscous losses and reduced flow turning at low Reynolds numbers ($Re$).

Although the aerodynamics of isolated aerofoils operating at these $Re$ have been studied extensively, the flow fields within low $Re$ axial compressors have not been investigated in detail.

Wings under these conditions are highly susceptible to separated flows, posing a significant challenge for the MA V.
