1. Knitted architecture and wind: Designing loosely fitted architectural textiles for interaction with wind
Abstract : Utilising the textile’s ability to adapt to external forces such as the wind could lead to the creation of new design expressions and functional features within architecture. Prompted by architectural potentials of textiles deliberately designed to move and flex, this thesis aims to explore and demonstrate how such knitted textiles could contribute to enriched aesthetic expression and improved performance of architectural elements placed in windy environments.

2. A Large Eddy Simulation Based Fluid-Structure Interaction Methodology with Application in Hydroelasticity
Abstract : The phenomenon of hydroelasticity is a subarea of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and of major importance in many engineering applications related to hydrodynamics and naval architecture e.g. READ MORE

3. Large Eddy Simulation of an Oscillating Cylinder
Abstract : In this thesis Large Eddy Simulation of an Oscillating Cylinder is carried out studying the governing flow physics and modeling aspects such as effect of grid resolution and subgrid model. This also involves validation of the predictions with experimental data in terms of Fourier analysis, magnitude and characteristic shape of drag and lift force profiles. READ MORE

4. Multidisciplinary Design of Transonic Fans for Civil Aeroengines
Abstract : For current state-of-the-art turbofan engines the bypass section of the fan stage alone provides the majority of the total thrust in cruise and the size of the fan has a considerable effect on overall engine weight and nacelle drag. Thrust requirements in different parts of the flight envelope must also be satisfied together with sufficient margins towards stall. READ MORE

5. Optimisation of the Flow Process in Engine Bays - 3D Modelling of Cooling Airflow
Abstract : The focus of today’s automotive industry is to reduce emissionsand fuel consumption of all vehicles. Concentrating on the truckindustry, the last 20 years have focused largely on cutting emissionsof particulate matter and nitrogen oxides. For the future, attentionwill be on fuel consumption and emissions of carbon dioxide. READ MORE
