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. …”

The effect of wing flexibility on ride comfort in formation flight by Biden, Kirsty Joy

“…The trailing wake vortices shed by the lead aircraft in formation flight were considered to have a solid core using the Burnham-Hallock Model. The optimal positioning of the trailing aircraft in a two-aircraft formation was discussed and all subsequent simulations run with the trailing vortex core initially located at the wing tip and 0.1 of a wingspan above the wing. …”
