Non-reacting Numerical Simulation of Axisymmetric Trapped Vortex Combustor (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
DAKKA, S., Singh, K., Jefferson-Loveday, R., & Serhat, H. (2023). Non-reacting Numerical Simulation of Axisymmetric Trapped Vortex Combustor.

This paper will focus on suitability of trapped vortex combustor as a candidate for gas turbine combustor objective to minimize pressure drop across combustor and investigating aerodynamic performance. Non-reacting simulation of axisymmetric cavity t... Read More about Non-reacting Numerical Simulation of Axisymmetric Trapped Vortex Combustor.

Aerodynamic Design and Exploration of a Blended Wing Body Aircraft at Subsonic Speed (2019)
Journal Article
Dakka, S., & Johnson, O. (2019). Aerodynamic Design and Exploration of a Blended Wing Body Aircraft at Subsonic Speed. International Journal of Aviation, Aeronautics, and Aerospace, 6(5), Article 17

Blended Wing Body (BWB) is a novel aircraft concept which provides many different aerodynamic benefits over conventional aircrafts design. This research investigated the BWB design, L/D characteristics, surface pressure distribution and span-wise lif...
