Predicting exhaust plume species

This project looks at capturing and modelling the uncertainties related to mathematical- and physics-based modelling, and those generated through on-ground testing. Specifically, in this project, simulations will predict exhaust plume species that may be expected in a number of combustion and scenarios, where these scenarios shall be consistent with planned hotfires in support of Skyrora’s development programme.

When the hotfires actually occur, they will be instrumented by the student in a manner that can combine real-time engine data alongside the resulting plume characteristics, and so validate the simulation results.
