Computational Modeling of Propeller Noise: NASA SR-7A propeller
(University of Waterloo, 2014-05-14)The aerospace industry has been concerned with propeller noise levels for years. This interest is two-fold: government regulation and comfort in cabin. This report attempts to create a simulation mechanism needed to evaluate ... -
Effect of polymer additives on transitioning and turbulent boundary layers
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-26)Injection of small quantities of polymer solutions in various internal and external turbulent flows can produce a substantial reduction of skin friction drag. This phenomenon, known as Toms phenomenon, has been actively ... -
Progress on the application of the NS-alpha model to wall-bounded flows
(University of Waterloo, 2008-10-09)In this thesis we study the NS-alpha model of flow turbulence. In this model the closure arises through a modified nonlinearity. For the NS-alpha model currently used in published numerical studies, the parameter representing ... -
Structural Response and Wake Vortex Dynamics of Cylindrical Structures Undergoing VIV with Elliptic Trajectories
(University of Waterloo, 2018-05-17)Vortex Induced Vibrations (VIV) of a pivoted circular cylinder were examined through experiments conducted in a water tunnel facility at the University of Calgary. The structural response and wake dynamics of the system ...
