Effects of free-stream turbulence intensity on laminar separation bubbles
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-30)The effects of free-stream turbulence intensity on the flow over a NACA 0018 airfoil are studied experimentally in a wind tunnel facility. A parametric study is performed over a range of chord Reynolds numbers from 100 000 ... -
Forging links between innovation and sustainability:An empirical examination of the effects on a firm’s financial performance
(University of Waterloo, 2016-04-29)Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the North American energy and energy-intensive materials production sectors account for more than 50 percent of total GHG emissions. Based on the argument that CO2 emissions need to be ... -
The “Immersive Experience” in Language Learning: Student Perceptions, Experiences, and Transitions between Online and On-Campus Learning Environments
(University of Waterloo, 2016-02-03)In this thesis I examine the various ways in which undergraduate students of German as a Foreign Language experience different learning environments (on-campus vs. online). Previous research has focused on how to design ... -
Investing Flow over an Airfoil at Low Reynolds Numbers Using Novel Time-Resolved Surface Pressure Measurements
(University of Waterloo, 2011-04-12)An aluminum NACA 0018 airfoil testbed was constructed with 95 static pressure taps and 25 embedded microphones to enable novel time-resolved measurements of surface pressure. The main objective of this investigation is to ... -
The Involvement of Spiritual Organizations in Sustainability Initiatives, as seen in the Transition Towns Movement in the United Kingdom
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-30)Spiritual organizations have historically played an important role in social and civil movements (Aminzade & Perry 2007). This research is one investigation of how spiritual organizations may benefit sustainability ... -
Stability of compressible boundary layers in presence of smooth roughness and wall temperature effects
(University of Waterloo, 2023-01-26)In natural laminar flow design, aircraft manufacturers aim to delay the laminar-to-turbulent transition by modifying the geometric features of the aircraft to stabilize the boundary layer. Yet, the transitional process is ...
