The effect of turboprop propulsion on the aerodynamic benefits of formation flight by McKenzie, Cameron Cedric

“…The downwash velocity field of a B747 during cruise, obtained via the use of the VFM Burnham-Hallock (VFM B-H) model programme, was verified against both the simulation conducted by Ehret and Oertel, in which an integrated Biot-Savart law VFM was utilised, as well as against experimental results obtained by Burnham et al. in their ground-based measurements of the wake vortex characteristics of a B747 aircraft. …”

Investigating the relationships between land use characteristics, public transport network features and financial viability at a corridor scale by Cooke, Sean

“…The aim of this study is to investigate the relationships between land use characteristics, network features and viable public transport services in the South African context and at a corridor scale. The study utilises a public transport corridor operating cost model that was created to simulate the effects of variation in four land use characteristics (population density, density distribution, land use mix and destination accessibility) and two public transport network features (mode technology and service configuration) on the financial viability of services. …”

Boiler system modelling using Flownex® by Rossouw, André

“…Flownex has been identified as the key software to accomplish the global objective of the Centre for Energy Efficiency under EPPEI at the University of Cape Town, which is to develop a software model of a complete coal-fired power station which includes all the main systems required for independent transient simulation. The boiler model captures the true geometric layout and flow orientation with associated characteristics of a wide variety of boiler designs utilised by Eskom. …”
