DESIGN OF STREAMLINE-TRACED INLETS AND THEIR INTEGRATION WITH ROTATING DETONATION ENGINES
Branch, Malcolm Lee; 0000-0002-3197-5447 (2021-08-02)This thesis has two parts: 1) design of the streamline-traced inlets (STIs); and 2) integration of STIs with rotating detonation engines (RDEs). The STI design starts with a two-dimensional, isentropic compression flowfield ... -
Dynamics of a pulse detonation engine driven linear power generator
Dighe, Umang Umeshkumar (2019-12-16)The dynamics of a pulse detonation engine driven linear power generator were studied. For an ideal pulse detonation engine, the thrust generated is in the form of a piecewise function given by the Endo-Fujiwara model. ... -
LAMINAR SWEPT AND CROSS SHOCKWAVE/BOUNDARY-LAYER INTERACTIONS
Sebastian, Jiss Jacob; 0000-0002-8932-0048 (2021-08-02)Shockwave/boundary-layer interactions are considered one of the most complex problems in high-speed gas dynamics, and numerous studies have been carried out for more than eighty years to understand the fundamental physics. ... -
Turbulent Shockwave/Boundary-Layer Interactions Generated by Sharp Swept Fins
Otten, Dustin Levi; 0000-0002-9445-8279 (2023-12-08)The shock/turbulent boundary layer interaction (STBLI) generated by a sharp fin with a 60 deg leading edge sweep mounted above a flat plate at Mach 2.5 was studied numerically. Incipient separation due to this highly swept ... -
USING NUMERICAL MODELING TO DETERMINE VISCOUS LOSSES WITHIN HELIUM TURBOMACHINERY
Uhlig, Benjamin (2020-12-07)As the consumption of energy has increased relentlessly over the last few decades, the need for reliable clean energy generation has increased as well. Currently, nuclear power is the only method capable of providing a ...
