Trosolwg

Prif nod ymchwil Dr Croft yw datblygu technegau effeithlon a chywir ar gyfer datrys problemau dynameg hylifau cyfrifiannol (CFD) mewn geometreg bywyd go iawn. Y dull y mae’n ei ddilyn yw ymestyn y dull Cyfaint Meidraidd (FV), sy'n cynnig gweithdrefn ateb hynod effeithlon ar y rhwyllau Cartesaidd, i ymdrin â'r rhwyllau anstrwythuredig sydd eu hangen i gynrychioli'r geometrau sy'n bresennol mewn cymwysiadau peirianyddol. Defnyddiwyd y feddalwedd a ddilynodd mewn ystod eang o feysydd cymhwyso ond fe'i defnyddiwyd yn bennaf i efelychu prosesau o fewn diwydiannau prosesu metelau. Mae'r prosesau hyn yn gofyn am atebion ar ben CFD ond gallant hefyd gynnwys anffurfiad strwythurol, effeithiau electro-fagnetig, cyfnodau gronynnol, adweithiau cemegol ac effeithiau ymbelydredd sydd i gyd wedi'u datrys mewn un fframwaith meddalwedd.

Mae'r prif ddull y mae Dr Croft wedi'i ddefnyddio i ymestyn y dull FV i'r rhwyllau anstrwythuredig wedi'i seilio ar y dechneg sy'n canolbwyntio ar gyfresi celloedd. Mae ymestyn y dull hwn i'r rhwyllau anstrwythuredig yn arwain at weithdrefn ateb effeithlon, o'i chymharu â dulliau rhwyllau anstrwythuredig eraill, ond mae ansawdd y rhwyllau’n effeithio ar y cywirdeb a'r angen i amcangyfrif fflycsau arwyneb o werthoedd elfennol. Mae datblygiadau yn y ddau faes yma wedi gwella cywirdeb y dull gweithredu ond mae ffiniau o hyd i’w gymhwysedd. Mae Dr Croft wedi bod yn ymwneud â goruchwylio prosiectau PhD sydd wedi ymchwilio i gyplu FV sy'n seiliedig ar fertigau, sy'n ymdrin â rhwyllau anstrwythuredig yn dda iawn ond nad yw'n effeithlon iawn, gyda FV sy'n canolbwyntio ar gelloedd i gynnig dull graddol o ymdrin â'r hydrodynameg a hefyd y defnydd o dechnegau aml-grid ar yr un pryd a'u cymhwyso gan ddefnyddio rhwyllau anstrwythuredig.

EG-396 Computational Aerodynamics

This module provides a concise overview on the basic principles of computational fluid dynamics as used in subsonic aerodynamics. The topics include the governing equations, finite difference and finite volume methods and iterative linear solvers. Training will also be provided on the use of computational fluid dynamics software as well as the implementation of relevant computational methods.
EG-M62 Group project (Aerospace)

This module enables students to participate in a group activity involving an integrated holistic approach to achieve a solution to a specific engineering problem. In most instances it will involve either direct interaction with industry or will be an industrially-related project. Issues other than providing a purely technical solution to the problem will have to be considered in order to achieve a satisfactory outcome to the project.

EGA118 Problem solving for Aerospace Engineers

The module provides an introduction to some of the problem solving techniques that can be used to address the type of problems that are encountered by aerospace engineers. The module will introduce students to the concepts of structured programming and software engineering. It will then use MATLAB to allow the students to practice using the techniques.
