Journal Article
Ali, U., Chadwick, E., & Sugar-Gabor, O. (2022). An optimisation of a chordwise slot to enhance lateral flow control on a UCAV. Incas Bulletin, 14(4), 3-17. https://doi.org/10.13111/2066-8201.2022.14.4.1

This research aims to optimise a chordwise slot so that lateral flow control of a flying wing
configuration can be enhanced. This was achieved by maximising the airflow rate over the trailing edge
control surfaces of the wing. A higher rate of airf... Read More about An optimisation of a chordwise slot to enhance lateral flow control on a UCAV.

An experimental test for the existence of the Euler wake velocity, validating Eulerlet theory by using a bluff body in a low-speed wind tunnel (2020)
Thesis
Chalasani, K. An experimental test for the existence of the Euler wake velocity, validating Eulerlet theory by using a bluff body in a low-speed wind tunnel. (Thesis). University of Salford

The application of manoeuvrability problems in aerodynamics mainly works for Reynolds average Navier-Stokes equations particularly for a uniform, steady flow past a fixed body. Further, consider large Reynolds number such that the flow is not turbule...

Consider uniform, steady flow past a circular cylinder at Reynolds numbers 26, 36 and 40 before the flow becomes unsteady. Model the flow by using eulerlets, new Green’s functions for Euler flow. This is the first time this eulerlet model has been us... Read More about Using eulerlets to model steady uniform flow past a circular cylinder.

Experimental study and modelling of the thermal conductivity of sandy soils of different porosities and water contents (2017)

and water contents. Applied Sciences, 7(2), 119. https://doi.org/10.3390/app7020119

This paper at first reports an experimental work to test the thermal conductivity of formulated sandy soil specimens of different porosities and water contents. Both needle probe and hot-plate methods were conducted and compared. It has been confirme...

Boundary element models in inviscid (Euler) flow dynamics for a manoeuvring body are difficult to formulate even for the steady case; Although the potential satisfies the Laplace equation, it has a jump discontinuity in twodimensional flow relating t...
