Continuum Modelling of Al/CuO Nanothermite Pellet Combustion
(University of Waterloo, 2020-06-15)Nanothermite mixtures are made up of nano-sized metallic fuel and inorganic oxidizer components. As this solid mixture represents a metastable intermolecular composite, an increase in nanothermite temperature can initiate ... -
Experimental analysis of coherent structures in a plane confined jet
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-26)Confined jets are commonly employed in several industrial applications such as propul-sion systems in the aerospace industry and environmental control systems. In the presentstudy, the flow development of a high ... -
Numerical Analysis of Transpiration Cooling on a Turbulent Flat Plate
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-14)Transpiration cooling is a promising thermal protection system for gas turbines, atmospheric re-entry heat shields, and rocket engine combustion chambers. Design of transpiration cooling systems must rely on numerical ... -
Prediction of Forces and Moments in Multiphase Naval Simulations
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)This thesis investigates the prediction of forces and moments in the static and dynamic planar motion mechanism (PMM) simulations of ship manoeuvring problems using the open-source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software ... -
Thermoacoustic Instabilities in Counterflow Diffusion Flames
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-23)Thermoacoustic instabilities arise in combustion systems from a coupling between the unsteady heat release of the flame and the underlying acoustic field. Although thermoacoustics have been studied extensively with regards ...
