Abstract: A novel construction unit (Bitublock) composed entirely of recycled and waste aggregates and bound with bituminous binders is currently being developed. At present, the manufacturing process requires the new units to be ...

Abstract: This paper provides a unique experimental assessment of the use of a foreign gas to vary the injection-to-mainstream density ratio in film-cooling experiments. It is widely recognized that it ...

Abstract: Film cooling in the presence of mainstream pressure gradients typical of gas turbines has been studied experimentally on a flat plate. This paper describes measurements of the spanwise-averaged ...

Abstract: Transient heat transfer measurement techniques have long been used in two-dimensional stationary cascade tests designed to model turbine conditions used in Oxford. More recently, experiments studying ...
