In this dissertation, we present the first measurements of two-dimensional (2-D) energy spectra of the streamwise velocity component (u) in high Reynolds number turbulent boundary layers. The measurements in the logarithmic ...

Previous research has demonstrated the potential of equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) for producing wood particle based biocomposites. By disturbing wood particle structure and reducing cellulose crystallinity, wood ...

In power systems around the world, substantial quantities of Variable Renewable Generation (VRG) sources such as wind and solar are being introduced. Challenges arise from increasing VRG as it is characterised by significant ...

This thesis details the results of a research effort both to acquire sufficiently-resolved velocity and vorticity vector time-series in turbulent wall-bounded flows, as well as to use the acquired data to juxtapose two ...

Pentane isomers are among the most abundant constituents of worldwide gasoline. Their autoignition has been extensively studied in fundamental reactors (shock tube, rapid compression machine (RCM), jet-stirred reactor, ...

Change has now become a fact of life in all businesses, and training is no exception to the rule. (Leigh, 1996)

Technology transfer has been well recognised as a means to advance technology capability. Numerous organisations world-wide have been involved in technology transfer programs. Transnational and domestic technology transfer ...

The substitution of ferrous metal with forged light alloys in Fatigue-Limited, Safety- Critical (FLSC) applications provides an opportunity to achieve mass reduction. However, the use of forged light alloys in FLSC ...

Injury to the knee can have a dramatic effect on a person's lifestyle. Participation in sports and exercise, general mobility, and even commonplace activities like walking up stairs can all be restricted or prevented ...

High energy mechanical alloying, a non-equilibrium processing method was successfully employed to extend the solid solubility of Al-5 at.% Nb alloy. Microstructural evolution with varying milling duration was studied in ...
