Investigation of wing rock on delta wing part 1 : flow field and hydrodynamic force analysis by Gan, Calvin Cheng Rui

“…This final year project focuses on the study of wing rock of delta wings at high angles of attack in a water tunnel. In the experiment, the hydrodynamic force generated by the delta wing is measured using a force-moment transducer, and the flow visualization is carried out with a dye probe, video camera and a digital SLR. …”

Numerical analysis in rock blasting by Wang, Kaihao.

“…The drill and blast process, which is the most common technique for rock excavation, has been used not only in mining and quarrying but also in tunnelling and dam construction. Compared to heavy machinery excavation such as using tunnel boring machines, rock blasting is more reliable, economical and flexible in their applications. …”

Probing the superconducting gap symmetry of α − PdBi 2 : A penetration depth study by Mitra, Sreemanta, Okawa, K., Kunniniyil Sudheesh, S., Sasagawa, T., Zhu, Jian-Xin, Chia, Elbert Ee Min

“…We report measurements of the in-plane London penetration depth λ in single crystals of the α−PdBi2 superconductor—the α-phase counterpart of the putative topological superconductor β−PdBi2, down to 0.35 K using a high-resolution tunnel-diode-based technique. Both λ and superfluid density ρs exhibit an exponential behavior for T≤ 0.35Tc, with Δ(0)/kBTc ∼ 2.0, ΔC/γTc ∼ 2.0, and λ(0) ∼ 140 nm, showing that α−PdBi2 is a moderately coupling, fully gapped superconductor. …”

Development of coherent detector technologies for sub-millimetre wave astronomy observations by Tan, B-K

“…Above that, the mixer performance is compromised by losses, unless materials with higher superconducting gap are employed in conjunction with the niobium tunnel junction. In this thesis, we present the development of 700 GHz niobium SIS mixers, employing a unilateral finline taper on a thin Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) substrate. …”

The geomorphic work of the European mole (Talpa europaea): long-term monitoring of molehills using structure-from-motion photogrammetry by Baxter, T, Woor, S, Coombes, M, Viles, H

“…These subterranean mammals are easily detected through the mounds, or molehills, they construct as surface bioproducts of tunnel systems excavated underground. The dense aggregation of these bioconstructions in a range of environments (e.g. floodplains, woodland, coastal dunes, upland regions, etc.) indicates that moles may play an important role in sediment systems. …”

Aerodynamic analysis of cylinder to flat plate (CyFlap) embedment for agriculture purposes by Azman, Sara Wajiha, Mohd Rafie, Azmin Shakrine, Gires, Ezanee

“…In short, the presented research work in this paper essentially covers the process of developing, manufacturing, analyzing and also wind tunnel testing of the design concept. All in all, the findings show that the proposed AgroCyFlaP demonstrates a substantial lift force around 60% more at the condition of 15º angle of attack, enabling it to transport weights that are comparable to a base UAV but without creating the downwash impact, unlike conventional rotorcraft. …”
