PhD Thesis Title:
Effect of Leading Edge Tubercles on Airfoil Performance (2006
-continuing) – Experimental
and computational study into the effect of modifications to the leading
edge of an airfoil in the form of sinusoidal protrusions of various
heights and spacing. It has
been shown that these modifications have a positive influence on the lift
characteristics of an airfoil and the aim of the research is to study the
effect of height and spacing variations as well as how the position of
maximum thickness will influence the results.
MS thesis title:
-
BE (Honours)
Thesis Title:
Internal Flows Practical (2004) – Development of an undergraduate
laboratory apparatus including both design and construction phases. The purpose was to demonstrate
pump and impeller characteristics and to familiarize students with various
devices used in pipe networks.
