Influence of boundary layer transition on the trajectory optimisation of a reusable launch vehicle [PDF]
Based on flight experience from the Space Shuttle programme, it is well known that mis-prediction of the effects of boundary layer transition represents one of the highest technical risks when designing a Reusable Launch Vehicle.

Fluxes and (co-)variances of reacting scalars in the convective boundary layer [PDF]
The effects of chemistry on the transport and the mixing of reacting scalars in the convective atmospheric boundary layer (CBL) are investigated. To do this, we use large-eddy simulation (LES) to calculate explicitly the different terms of the flux and ...

Large-eddy simulation of turbulent flow over a rough surface [PDF]
A family of wall models is proposed that exhibits more satisfactory performance than previous models for the large-eddy simulation (LES) of the turbulent boundary layer over a rough surface.The time and horizontally averaged statistics such as mean ...
