Abstract:
In 1970, Freiser made the theoretical prediction that a biaxial nematic phase could exist. In auniaxial nematic, only one particle axis is aligned but with a biaxial nematic, all three molecular axes are aligned. This phase is expected to occur for particle whose shape is intermediate between that of a disc and a rod. Board and bent-core particles are examples of such structures. Despite extensive experimental investigation, however, very few biaxial nematic systems have been found. Yu and Saupe [21] have shown the occurrence of a biaxial nematic phase generated for a lyotropic system. Similar

This thesis reports research carried out towards numerical simulation of hypersonic flows around space-plane shapes. For high speed flows around conical geometries, a locally conical approximation was introduced, which resulted in locally conical Navier-Stokes equations. In order to achieve accuracy and efficiency for steady state solutions, various methods were investigated. Based on the MacCormack implicit scheme and the Beam-Warming implicit scheme, two implicit procedures were developed to solve the locally conical Navier-Stokes equations (LCNSE).

Abstract:
The turbine is one of the key components in gas turbine engines. To prevent the turbine blades from being badly damaged by their harsh working environment, it is necessary to keep them cool. This can be achieved by enhancement of the heat transfer performance through internal cooling passages. However, the large quantity of flow within this internal cycle inevitably results in mass flow loss, which is a major source of loss in turbomachinery. Therefore labyrinth seals are also investigated in this study, attempting to reduce the flow leakage and further increase the turbine efficiency. Large E

Molecular simulation of macromolecular liquid crystal (LC) systems has so far been limited by a number of factors: the large size of the molecules themselves and the fact that mesophase formation takes place on length and timescales that are not reasonable to simulate. The work in this thesis develops three methods that can be used to assist in the computer simulation of macromolecular LC systems. Coarse-graining is a technique where instead of representing every atom within a molecule as a single site, a number of atoms are grouped into interaction centres. This coarse-graining procedure has

Understanding the elastic-plastic response of polycrystalline materials is an extremely difficult task. A polycrystalline material consists of a large number of crystals having different orientations. On its own, each crystal would deform in a specific manner. However, when it is part of a polycrystalline aggregate, the crystal has to ensure compatibility with the aggregate, which causes the response of the crystal to change. Knowing the response of a crystal enables us to view the change in orientation of the crystal when subjected to external macroscopic forces. This ability is useful in pre
