  • Dynamics of flow unsteadiness in high-speed double cones and cylinders

    Featured
    Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies

    Date and Time: July 7, 11 AM Venue: UTIAS Lecture Hall, AS 158   Abstract: External flows in the high-speed (compressible) regime with regions of flow separation often present rich fluid-dynamical features. An aspect of such flows that is particularly interesting is temporal unsteadiness, which is typically driven by interaction of shock waves with flow […]

  • Unique Dynamics of Reacting Systems Under Near Limit Conditions

    Featured
    Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies

    Speaker: Prof. Tanvir Farouk Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of South Carolina Today’s energy technologies have been moving toward operating at near-limit conditions to achieve higher efficiency, lower emission, and fuel variability. Under these near limit conditions chemical kinetics and the thermo-fluid dynamics couple more distinctively in a reacting flow system. This talk discusses […]

  • Frontiers of RPAS technology and regulation: from principles to practice

    Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies

    Abstract In this joint seminar, engineers from Transport Canada and Ribbit will discuss the latest Canadian regulations for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS, i.e. drones), and how they apply to the development and testing of novel drone concepts. Transport Canada will lead the first half of the seminar, laying a rigorous foundation in the philosophy […]

  • Autonomous Forced Landing of Unmanned Aircraft Systems

    Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies

    Abstract Unmanned aircraft systems are gradually penetrating into civil aviation, sharing airspace with manned aircraft. Safely is of paramount importance in future mixed aviation environment. Research has been carried out in addressing mid-air safety such as see and avoid, and safe separation, but much less on terminal operation and active contingence management. This talk focuses […]

  • Physics of turbulent combustion of hydrogen: contemporary understanding and fundamental challenges

    Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies

    Abstract: This presentation will aim at highlighting and discussing the following important peculiarity of combustion of lean hydrogen-air mixtures. High molecular diffusivity of hydrogen can result in significant local variations in mixture composition, temperature, fuel consumption and heat release rates due to imbalance of molecular fluxes of chemical and thermal energies to and from stretched […]

  • LES of turbulent, twin jets

    Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies

    Joseph Mathew, Chair and Professor, Department of Aerospace Engineering, Indian Institute of Science   Abstract: The first part is on the LES method that we have used and understood over the past two decades with a sequence of theses beginning with incompressible, variable density, compressible subsonic and then supersonic flows with shocks.  The method will […]

  • Modeling and Simulation of Rarefied Gases

    Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies

    Abstract: The Boltzmann equation is a cornerstone of gas kinetic theory, describing the statistical behavior of gas molecules via distribution functions. However, its high dimensionality and the complex, nonlinear structure of the collision operator present significant challenges for numerical computation. Over the past decade, our research has focused on both model reduction and efficient numerical […]

  • The effect of anisotropy and walls on leading-edge noise

    Lecture Hall, University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies

    Abstract: Leading edge has been extensively studied numerically, analytically, and experimentally assuming the incoming turbulence is isotropic. This talk will detail analytical and numerical work investigating the effect of anisotropy on leading-edge noise. This is a relevant problem for ultra high bypass turbofan engines where anisotropic turbulence can be found in the wakes between the […]
