An understanding of the flame transfer function (FTF) is essential for predicting the onset of combustion instabilities in gas turbine combustors, where flow oscillations excited by acoustic forcing drive burning […]
This thesis develops analytical and computational frameworks for studying static and dynamic behaviour in nonlocal elastic structures, focusing on wave propagation, stress localization, and guided-wave phenomena at micro- and nano-scales, […]
Chemical kinetic mechanism development and validation require quantitative species data from canonical flames. Burner-stabilized pre -mixed flames provide a stationary post-flame region directly comparable to one-dimensional kinetic simulations. Ex-situ gas […]
The need to decarbonize power generation and aviation has established hydrogen as a promising fuel for next generation gas turbine combustion systems. However, its high chemical reactivity significantly increases the […]
Tailless UAVs are stealthy, high-subsonic configurations used for deep penetration into contested airspace. These configurations have wing with moderate leading edge sweep angle with no definite fuselage and lack both […]
Acoustic tones in the near field of a Mach 0.9, Reynolds number 10^6 round jet are investigated using large-eddy simulations (LES) performed with the explicit filtering LES (EFLES) approach. The […]
Particle tracking in turbulent jets is essential for an accurate Lagrangian understanding of jet flows. While parallel algorithms and numerical schemes to compute flow fields can be scaled to a […]
