The aeroacoustics response and shear layer dynamics of confined cavities subject to low Mach number turbulent flow
(2023-04-01)
Cavities exposed to low Mach number flow in various engineering applications are often liable for generating flow-excited acoustic oscillations, resulting in large acoustic amplitudes and vibrations. This compromises the ...
Test case prioritization using transfer learning in continuous integration environments
(2023-04-01)
Continuous integration (CI) systems use automated tests to verify software builds and optimize the testing process through test case prioritization (TCP). Recent research studies on TCP in CI environments have employed ...
Autonomous driving control strategies for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles with active safety system
(2023-05-01)
This study aims to develop automated driving strategies and integrated active control system for multi-trailer articulated heavy vehicles (MTAHVs) to enhance road transport efficiency, directional performance, and safety. ...
Investigation and use of dual (twin) low pressure proportional counters for active neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry
(2023-05-01)
This thesis tackles accurate neutron-gamma mixed field dosimetry in radiation protection and radiation biology. While passive dosimeters are suitable for measuring low radiation levels, active instruments are necessary in ...
Experimental and numerical investigation of the flow structures at the rear of three-dimensional bluff bodies
(2023-05-01)
Flows around bluff bodies have complex structures, which create drag, surface contamination and stability issues for transportation systems. The standard Ahmed body (SAB) is a simplified representative three-dimensional ...
Investigation into the stability of low-inertia micro-grids
(2023-05-01)
This work examines the stability of low inertia micro-grids (MGs). The lack of inertia in such power electronics dominated grid is a pressing matter that directly impacts its operation and stability. The investigated MG ...
Modelling and prediction of tire-rim slip with finite element analysis
(2023-07-01)
In this thesis, tire-rim slip was simulated with a FEA model of a RHD truck tire. Multiple simulations were conducted to validate the model and investigate the effects of different parameters such as terrain type, tire-rim ...
PoT: bridging IoT with phone technology
(2023-09-01)
The ”Phone of Things” (PoT) introduces an innovative integration of IoT systems with the widely available telephone network infrastructure. It repurposes underused home landlines and existing communication servers, weaving ...
Efficient design of reconfigurable intelligent surface assisted multi-group multicast beamforming
(2023-09-01)
This thesis considers a multi-group multicasting scenario facilitated by a reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS). We propose low-complexity scalable algorithms for the joint design of the base station (BS) multicast ...
Experimental investigation of dark fermentation of poplar leaves for biohydrogen production
(2023-08-01)
Biohydrogen, a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy alternative, is pivotal in transitioning to a more energy-efficient future. Thesis research explores the variations of H2 hydrogen production potential of ...
