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. …”

Leveraging the microbiome in host genome wide association studies by Awany, Denis

“…Philosophically, the non-parametric specification amounts to the addition of an infinite amount of prior information about all fine details of the parameters being modelled; thus represents an attractive strategy. The utility of the method is demonstrated through simulation experiments and application to real microbiome datasets for schizophrenia, HIV/AIDS, and atherosclerosis diseases, where it is shown that the method is not only robust but also has high statistical power for association inference, resulting in a framework that can contribute to our understanding of the link between the microbiome and human diseases. …”

The role of concentrating solar power in a South African large scale renewable energy scenario by May, Haydn Liam

“…This thesis investigates a hypothetical large scale renewable energy system for South Africa over the long term future using 2050 as a nominal year of analysis. Simulation modeling was used to assess the integration of three renewable energy technologies, which are currently being installed at utility scales in South Africa, at much higher penetrations. …”
