    • Combustion instabilities in non-premixed opposed-flow tubular flames 
      Shopoff, Scott William (2010-12-07)
      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      Cellular formation in non-premixed flames is experimentally studied in an opposed-flow tubular burner that allows independent variation of the global stretch rate and overall flame curvature. All experiments were conducted ...
    • Energetic Cavitation Collapse 
      Ramsey, Marc Christopher (2013-07-26)
      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      The collapse of a spherical cavity in liquid can focus energy in space and time, generating extreme thermodynamic states and emitting light and a strong shock wave. Such events, generally at the micro-scale, are of interest ...
    • Examination of Nitric Oxide Formation for Unseeded Molecular Tagging Velocimetry 
      Bearden, William Chadwick (2017-04-06)
      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      In order to fully understand a fluid flow (and the resulting implications, e.g. lift, drag, turbulence, etc.) accurate velocity measurements under experimental conditions are critical. Nonintrusive techniques are essential ...
    • Hydroxyl Tagging Velocimetry in a Supersonic Flow Over a Ramped-Wall Cavity Flameholder with an Upstream Strut 
      Grady, Nathan Ryan (2010-12-10)
      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      Supersonic air flow over a wall cavity with a rear ramp both with and without an upstream strut was studied with Hydroxyl Tagging Velocimetry (HTV). HTV is a non-intrusive means of measuring gas velocity by producing a ...
    • Instability of premixed lean hydrogen laminar tubular flames 
      Hall, Carl Alan (2016-03-10)
      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      Combustion at the conditions found in practical applications is extremely complex and must be well characterized to support the next generation of combustors. This task is extremely difficult both experimentally and ...
    • Interaction of fluids and thin structures: simulation and applications 
      Yin, Bo (2013-03-01)
      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      Interactions between fluids and solid structures of small thickness can be found in many applications, e.g., aerodynamics of the membranous wings of insects, hydrodynamics of fish fins, human heart valves, flags and tree ...
    • Partially premixed tubular flames: an experimental survey 
      Tinker, Darren Charles (2016-12-08)
      Department: Mechanical Engineering
      Turbulent combustion, as seen in practical combustors, is highly complex and beyond current numerical means to accurately simulate. Simplifying assumptions commonly used in computational models approximate the complexity ...
