Commissioning of the OPG1 plasma wind tunnel by Chang, EWK, Schaefer, J, Valeinis, O, Buquet, M, Hermann, T

“…This work presents the commissioning of the new Osney Plasma Generator 1 (OPG1) plasma wind tunnel at the University of Oxford. …”

System study of an integrated facility with arc-jet and expansion tube for hypervelocity testing with ablating spacecraft models by Chang, EWK, Hermann, T

“…A hybrid facility allows a more comprehensive simulation of atmospheric entry conditions by using the small-scale thermal arc-jet Osney Plasma Generator (OPG) to heat the test model, which is then exposed to the hypervelocity flow generated from the Cold-Driven Expansion Tube (CXT). …”

Publishing the cult of St Frideswide in eleventh- and twelfth-century Oxford by Dunning, A

“…This was the main source available for Frideswide in the middle of the twelfth century, when Robert of Cricklade wrote a more sophisticated and ambitious life based on this text (BHL 3162), one of several works that used publishing networks to manoeuvre through the administrative challenges of a new religious foundation, competition with Osney Abbey, the Anarchy, and the Becket controversy. …”

Computational fluid dynamics investigation of the flow of trailing edge cooling slots by Jiang, Y, Gurram, N, Romero, E, Ireland, P, Di Mare, L

“…The experiments are conducted in a high speed cascade in Oxford Osney Thermo-Fluids Laboratory at Reynolds and Mach number distributions representative of engine conditions. …”

Non-contacting shaft seals for gas and steam turbines by Aubry, JR

“…Prototypes were tested experimentally at the Osney Thermofluids Laboratory, Oxford. Firstly a proof-of concept rig (simulating a 2-D seal cross-section) manufactured by RR was re-commissioned.…”

Computational fluid dynamics and thermal analysis of leaf seals for aero-engine application by Fico, V, Pekris, M, Barnes, C, Jha, R, Gillespie, D

“…The leaf seal tested at the Oxford Osney Laboratory is used for the study. Simulations for four seal axial Reynolds number are conducted; for each value of the Reynolds number, leaf tip-rotor contact, and clearance are considered. …”

Dendritic cooling for nozzle guide vanes by Batstone, JJR

“…The performance improvement has been confirmed by a co-worker at the Osney Laboratory who measured the metal effectiveness distribution of metal NGVs.…”
