DESCRIPTION
Solitary cylindroconical corallum sometimes showing piled up enlarged rings corresponding to starts and stops alternation in growth. Elliptical calice with flattened calicular platform showing a slightly deepened axial fossa. Radial elements compact, free, joining only in depth at the center, exsert, slightly bicuneiform to attenuated, generally straight costosepta, with lateral S1 curved. Distal edge festooned, lateral faces smooth. Distal inner edge with large well detached teeth. Radial hexameral symmetry. Bilateral symmetry marked by the elongated fossa and the curvature of lateral S1. Endotheca made of extended tabular dissepiments climbing along the wall. No synapticule. An epicostal epitheca s.l. covers the external part of the corallum.
Calicular diameter: 20 to 40 mm – Number of septa: approximately 60 to 70 – Septal density: 2-3 per 2 mm.
SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES
Differs from Epismiliopsis liasicus (Fromentel & Ferry, 1865) by the absence of detached septal spines at the inner edge of septa, an elliptical calice and a lower number of radial elements. It differs also from E. eudesi (Fromentel & Ferry, 1865) by its higher diameter and number of septa. However we cannot exclude that the holotype of E. eudesi (the only specimen known) could be a young stage of the same species.

Quantity discrimination in the eastern water skink (Eulamprus quoyii)
Creators: name: Wong, Kai Ning Rachel
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 520401
subject: Cognition

description: Quantity discrimination is a cognitive ability that allows vertebrates to process discrete and continuous numerical information. Amphibians and non-avian reptiles have long been underestimated regarding studies of cognition and, as a result, have limited studies investigating their quantity discrimination abilities. This thesis contains two chapters: a systematic literature review chapter and a data chapter. The systematic literature review summarises the currently published literature about quantity discrimination in amphibians and non-avian reptiles. Within this chapter, I discuss the literature on quantity discrimination in amphibians and non-avian reptiles and compare this to other vertebrates. I also identify gaps in our knowledge and suggest future avenues for research. The data chapter focuses on a binary choice experiment to investigate how the eastern water skink uses quantity discrimination. I used images of crickets displayed on an iPad screen that varied in number or size to determine if the skinks could discriminate between different ratios. I found that the skinks could only discriminate treatments with the lowest ratio of 0.25. However, these results show that they can perform quantity discrimination and demonstrate a novel approach to studying quantity discrimination in non-avian reptiles through the use of digital stimuli.

Chaotic and rheological properties of liquids under planar shear and elongational flows
Creators: name: Frascoli, Federico
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The aim of this work is to present relevant rheological and chaotic properties of atomic liquid systems under steady planar shear (PSF) and elongational (PEF) flows, with the use of Nonequilibrium Molecular Dynamics (NEMD) techniques. These flows are widely employed in industrial applications, and, at a fundamental level, represent interesting models for the discussion of theoretical assumptions of statistical mechanics and dynamical systems theory. Whereas the use of the SLLOD algorithm of NEMD for PSF has been established for more than twenty years, the simulation of PEF for arbitrarily long times has recently been made possible through the combination of the SLLOD formulation with the so-called Kraynik-Reinelt (KR) periodic boundary conditions (pbcs) for the unit cell. Firstly, aspects regarding the chaotic behaviour of these types of flow are discussed, with an analysis of the spectra of Lyapunov exponents for systems of different sizes and at a number of different state points, under Gaussian isoenergetic and isokinetic constrained dynamics. The so-called conjugate-pairing rule (CPR), which, loosely speaking, pertains to systems with a homogeneous distribution of chaoticity among internal degrees of freedom, is established for PEF, whereas robust evidence for its violation under PSF is provided. Considerations about the link between Lyapunov exponents and viscosity, structural ordering at high values of external fields and phase space contractions are also put forward. Secondly, a novel algorithm for the implementation of the Nosé-Hoover mechanism for pressure conservation for PEF systems is illustrated and used in conjunction with a Gaussian isokinetic thermostat to achieve a so-called isokinetic-isobaric (or NpT) ensemble. Accurate results for the viscosity of a simple liquid in this ensemble are obtained, and a comparison with analogous findings for the isokinetic-isochoric (NVT) regime is provided. Furthermore, the analysis of the chaotic properties for PSF and PEF systems is extended to the case of NpT constrained dynamics with the use of the above method, showing that the degrees of freedom associated with the Nosé-Hoover (NH) barostat have no influence on chaoticity, regardless of whether the underlying algorithm describing the flow is symplectic. Then, a study that shows the independence of physical properties of homogeneous systems under steady PEF from KR pbcs is carried out. Using CPR and inspecting the Lyapunov exponents associated with the conserved degrees of freedom, the dynamics of phase-space trajectories and the values of transport coefficients are proven to be insensitive to any choice of initial parameters of periodic mappings on the unit cell. Finally, some concluding remarks and suggestions for future work complete the Thesis.
Shakespeare, Performance and Embodied Cognition
Creators: name: Tunstall, Darren
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: This submission draws upon a range of evidence to account for the non-verbal features of theatrical performance. By blending rhetoric and gesture studies with psychology, I shed light on the acting of Shakespeare’s plays in the past, and ask what a scientifically-informed analysis of non-verbal communication can bring to actor training and performance theory. The centrepiece is a book which uncovers a key concept from Classical oratory of ‘decorum’ and explains how this concept became central to the development of the professional actor, including where it was translated as ‘smoothness’ in Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The book traces a history of Shakespearean acting using a taxonomy drawn from psycholinguistics and manuals of gesture. I relate smoothness to Stereotype Content Theory within social psychology to show how non-verbal behaviour influences perceptions of warmth and competence and how actors have exploited this perceptual bias. The second item, a book chapter on the theatre pedagogue Jacques Lecoq, relates key concepts from his teaching to Shakespearean performance, in particular his insistence upon ‘élan’ in the embodiment of a role. I show how this concept is an extension of the idea of smoothness. The third item, a book chapter, asks upon what basis of evidence we can train an actor to improve their timing. I introduce evidence for the psychological present, a window of attention critical to the sense of timing, and connect it to smoothness. I draw on the Stereotype Content Model to show how signals of warmth and competence play a primary role in an encounter, where smoothness of movement is such a signal. Finally, in a book chapter I outline the philosophy of Embodied Cognition, and show how it can be used to articulate a series of strategies for the rehearsal of a Shakespearean text.

Demographic differences in humour measurements: if it's male, managed but not mature, is it work humour?
Creators: name: Rawlings, Maren
name: Findlay, Bruce
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The prevailing notion of an individual having a distinct humour style, closely related to personality and enduring over a range of contexts (e.g Thorson and Powell,1993) is challenged in this comparative analysis of demographic factors in the Humor Styles Questionnaire (HSQ - Martin et al., 2003) and scales from the longer form of the Humour at Work (HAW) scale. A sample of Australian workers responded to both the HSQ and the HAW and their details of gender, position and age were recorded. Controlling for age, contrasts to Martin’s findings were found. These may reflect different uses of humour in the workplace. Scales of the long HAW were analyzed, controlling for age. Gender was a main effect for 'Gossip' and 'Stirring' and a main effect of position was marginally significant for 'Sharing'. The most intriguing finding involved an interaction between position and gender for the scale 'Stirring' of the HAW.

description: Background: Physicians often administer corticosteroids for the treatment of fluid and vasoactive infusion dependent pediatric shock. This use of corticosteroids is controversial, however, and has never been studied in a pediatric randomized controlled trial (RCT). This pilot trial will determine the feasibility of a larger RCT on the role of corticosteroids in pediatric shock. Methods/design: Steroids in Fluid and/or Vasoactive Infusion Dependent Pediatric Shock (STRIPES) is a pragmatic, seven-center, double-blind, pilot RCT. We aim to randomize 72 pediatric patients with fluid and vasoactive infusion dependent shock to receive either hydrocortisone or a saline placebo for 7 days or until clinical stability, whichever occurs first. The primary outcome of this pilot trial is the feasibility of recruitment, defined as the number of patients enrolled over a 1-year period. Secondary outcomes include the frequency of, and reasons for, open-label steroid use, protocol adherence, incidence of mortality and corticosteroid-associated adverse events, time to discontinuation of inotropes, and feasibility of blood sampling. Discussion: Corticosteroids are used for the treatment of pediatric shock without sufficient evidence to support this practice. While there is a scientific rationale and limited data supporting their use in this setting, there is also evidence from other populations suggesting potential harm. The STRIPES pilot study will assess the feasibility of a larger, much needed trial powered for clinically important outcomes. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02044159
The translator as reader: the case of poetry translators from modern Greek into English.
Creators: name: Georgiou, Konstantina
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Reader Response and Reception theories recognize that readerly activity during the reading process means that the reader draws on various resources, such as their knowledge of the world and of literary conventions. A more practical perspective with significant insights into the reader’s input comes from empirical explorations of literature (Hartman 1995, Peskin 1998, Hanauer 1998, 2001). Within Translation Studies there have been some attempts at exploring the role of the reader during the translation process. Cognitive research, using think-aloud protocols and/or eye-tracking and keystroke logging as their methods, has offered valuable information that expands our understanding of what translators do when they read during the translation process (Englund Dimitrova 2005, Jakobsen 2003). In addition, several ‘situated theories’ (Flynn 2013) by translation scholars who are also practitioners has provided several categories with which to describe an initial, exploratory model of the translator as reader. These attempts have been sporadic and not entirely systematic and have been unable to produce a comprehensive picture of what the translator brings into the reading-for-translation process. The object of this study is to merge and expand these categories proposed by translation scholars (Beaugrande 1977, Diaz-Diocaretz 1985, Jones 2011) into a coherent model of the poetry translator as reader. The expanded model is complemented by data from several different sources collected from Modern Greek into English poetry translators. The key issue of how the translatorial habitus affects the reading-for-translation phase is eplored through the examination of a corpus of paratexts created by or about these poetry translators. The study also draws data from the responses of twenty poetry translators to a survey and from ten semi-structured interviews with the same group of poetry translators for the exploration of the translatorial habitus. Finally, the effects of the translatorial habitus on the reading-for-translation phase are explored through verbal protocols with eight poetry translators.

Interface Engineering of SiC Monofilaments for the Manufacture of Metal Matrix Composites
Creators: name: Sutemire, Nathan James
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2023

description: Silicon carbide (SiC) monofilaments are high-strength, continuous ceramic fibres manufactured using a chemical vapour deposition (CVD) process. As the reinforcement in metal matrix composites (MMCs), they significantly enhance the mechanical and thermal properties while reducing weight compared to monolithic metal alloys. UK-based TISICS produces 100 μm (SM3240) and 140 μm (SM3256) diameter SiC monofilaments for reinforcing Ti and Al alloy composites, targeting the replacement of conventional alloys in aerospace components. The high cost of SiC monofilament production challenges MMC commercialisation. This thesis investigates the characterisation, optimisation, and development of SiC monofilaments, focusing on addressing yield-limiting growth anomalies, enhancing coating layer understanding, and stabilising the tungsten core-to-SiC (W-SiC) interface within the monofilament, which compromises its high-temperature performance.

description:

description: Growth anomalies causing filament fracture during quality control testing were found to result from process-induced tungsten oxide accumulation in the CVD reactor. Modifying the CVD cleaning stage significantly reduced tungsten oxide deposits and associated anomalies, resulting in a 77% decrease in monofilament breaks.
description: Investigations using SEM and high-speed AFM found no correlation between coating roughness and thickness with monofilament performance. The pioneering use of tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (TERS) successfully characterised the coatings’ nanostructures and their potential influence on performance, providing insights that could help increase the production speed of SiC monofilaments.

description:

description: The development of a diffusion barrier layer to stabilise the W-SiC interface, a deposition process for coating tungsten filaments with titanium carbide (TiC), was successfully redeveloped, providing a foundation for a new high-temperature stable SiC monofilament variant.

description:

description: These research findings have immediate industrial impact, including maximising yields in SiC monofilament production, eliminating coating-related uncertainties, and successfully applying TERS for SiC monofilament analysis. These advancements support the transition of TISICS’ CVD process from pilot to production scale and opens an opportunity to broaden the range of compatible matrix materials that TISICS SiC monofilaments can reinforce, expanding their use in high temperature applications.

The paper has won the Best Paper Award of the workshop. ABSTRACT: In this paper, we describe the process of inclusion of a prior polarity lexicon of Latin lemmas, called LatinAffectus, in a knowledge base of interoperable linguistic resources developed within the "LiLa: Linking Latin" project. More specifically, a manually-curated list of lemma-sentiment pairs is linked to a comprehensive collection of Latin lemmas by using Semantic Web and Linked Data standards and practices. LatinAffectus is modeled relying on three formal representation frameworks: Lemon and Ontolex to describe the lexicon, and the Marl ontology to describe the sentiment properties of each of its lexical entries. We present the lexicon, the methodology and the results of the linking process, as well as a use case and the planned future work.

description: Solid-phase crystallisation (SPC) of hydrogenated (H+) and dehydrogenated (H-) Si thin films on glass deposited by electron-beam (e-beam) evaporation (EVA) and plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) is compared. Four independent film characterisation methods, optical transmission microscopy (OTM), UV reflectance spectroscopy (UV-R), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy, reveal that for the SPC process at 600ºC the evaporated films have similar incubation and nucleation times as the PECVD films but the number of initial crystal grains is less and their growth rate is faster in the evaporated films. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images of fully crystallised polycrystalline Si film (poly-Si) samples after Secco etching show that the average grain size is larger in the evaporated film. The resulting quality of evaporated poly-Si appears to be at least as good as the quality of poly-Si made by PECVD promising similar cell efficiencies. Hydrogen is not responsible for the observed differences between SPC of the films from two different deposition methods.

urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 540AF60F-BAF0-4DB9-9FE0-6A9 AD 494F951
SPECIES ORIGINALLY INCLUDED. —? Phacelostylophyllum pontebbanae (Volz, 1896), P. romerloana (Volz, 1896), “ P. caespitosa ” (Frech, 1890), P. pygmaeum (Frech, 1890) P. zitteli (Frech, 1890), P. karauldyndalaensis (Melnikova, 1972).
TYPE SPECIES. — Stylophyllopsis zitteli Frech, 1890 (Frech 1890: 49, pl. 13, fig. 9-15, 17-24), original designation by Melnikova (1972: 59; p. 198 in the translated version of the Paleontological Journal).
REMARKS
The genus differs from solitary Stylophyllopsis Frech, 1890 by its generally phaceloid growth form which can transform into a subcerioid one. For a long time, the transition between solitary to phaceloid and subcerioid forms have been observed in the group Sylophyllopsis – Phacelostylophyllum. According to the aim of the study (taxonomic description or phylogenetic interpretation) several nomenclatural positions can be adopted. For instance Roniewicz & Michalík (1998) classify the phaceloid forms within the genus Stylophyllopsis that has the nomenclatural anteriority. We prefer to adopt the spectral nomenclature (see Lathuilière 1996) and the use of a morphogenus: Phacelostylophyllum mg.

Commemorating history and communicating hope : a mixed-methods study on how political leaders construct who ‘we’ and ‘they’ have been or can become in public ceremonial communication.
Creators: name: Gkinopoulos, Theofilos
Publisher: name: University of Surrey

description: The present thesis aims to understand the ways that political leaders craft a sense of ‘us’ and ‘them’ as part of their identity entrepreneurship process. The social psychological literature of entrepreneurial identity is underpinned by some problematic assumptions that limit understanding of the meaning, formation and influence of social identity in action. Political leaders as entrepreneurs are presented or treated as a homogeneous group in terms of the embodied properties and powers related to the entire nation, which they govern or aim to do so, rather than as representatives of a uniquely embodied political group. Therefore, findings of the present thesis build on the literature of social identity approach to political leadership in two ways: First, by suggesting concrete hypotheses about how leaders with different amounts of political support might define in various ways, as identity entrepreneurs, who ‘we’ are and who ‘we’ are not in democratic contexts marked by stability or crisis. Second, by considering different temporal accounts, in the form of who ‘we’ or ‘they’ were (past), are (present) or can become (future), as social identity maintenance strategies employed by political leaders. In Chapter 1, I introduce the thesis, set the scene, list the research questions that this thesis aims to answer and provide a chapter-by-chapter break down framework. In Chapter 2, I summarise previous work on commemoration practice alongside research on social identity approach to political leadership and studies beyond the social identity approach to leadership that focus on group identities and discourses of ‘we’ and ‘they’. In Chapter 3, I present the methodological framework of analysis of commemorative political speeches. Chapters 4 (content analysis), 5 (discourse analysis of ‘we’ and ‘they’) and 6 (temporal positioning of ‘we’ and ‘they’) present the findings of analysis of the speeches. I conclude, in this thesis, with a discussion, where I summarise findings, address implications of the current research and propose directions for future research.
Are the teachers alright? An interpretative phenomenological analysis of UK primary school teachers encountering wellbeing difficulties

description: The wellbeing of teachers in the UK is of growing concern to unions and educators. The present study sought to explore the lived experience of UK primary school teachers in state school settings by utilising a qualitative, phenomenological methodology. A social justice perspective is taken which frames teacher distress as professional marginalisation which poses risk to teacher and child alike. The findings reveal that teachers experience pressure, low mood and anxiety as a result of intense, escalating hours of work. In addition, punitive leadership and governance have reduced their sense of effectiveness and career fulfilment in the classroom, antagonising their efforts to be inspiring educators. Novel findings reveal that, beyond conceptualisations of burnout, teachers can experience depths of distress characterised by alienated self-experience. For teachers leaving the profession, this experience appears to be characterised by disenchantment with the UK profession. An existential-phenomenological explanation is provided. Recommendations and future research avenues are explored.
Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Debonding in Automotive Composite Structures

description: Debonding between the skins and the core in a sandwich structure is a critical failure mode in automotive applications where the energy absorption capability is a key property for crashworthiness. Once debonding occurs, the load carrying capacity of a sandwich structure, and therefore its energy absorption capability, drastically decreases. Debonding between a Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) skin and a foam core depends on many factors, including skin layup, foam material properties and skin-core thickness ratio. This research investigates the effect of using various core materials, with different cell characteristics, on the interfacial strength between a cellular foam and a CFRP skin. A key finding was that foams with a coarse cellular structure favoured a high resin uptake at the interface during the manufacturing process. The role of this resin layer was well-defined with the experimental tests, where it was shown to postpone crack initiation and kinking on samples subjected to Mode I loading and to delay the collapse of foam cells under the crack tip in compression on samples under Mode II loading. The research has matched physical experiments with Finite Element (FE) modelling. Initially, the work presented in this thesis focused on gaining a deep understanding of two of the most used numerical techniques to model interfacial failure: the Cohesive Zone Method (CZM) and the Virtual Crack Closure Technique (VCCT). However, limitations of these two techniques were found when modelling skin-core debonding in sandwich specimens. Experimentally, debonding in a foam-cored pre-cracked specimen was seen to initiate at the interface but to propagate within the foam core, growing in an unstable manner under both Mode I and Mode II loading. Both CZM and VCCT were not capable of capturing the stick-slip behaviour resulting from the unstable crack propagation. Therefore, a new method was suggested in order to accurately simulate debonding; this included the modelling of foam failure with an element deletion mechanism. This was the first time a failure criterion-based method was used to model debonding in foam cored sandwich specimen. The suggested modelling technique was also validated comparing the FE predictions to the experimental results obtained performing three-point bending tests on sandwich panels with three different configurations. As a result, the work has shown that debonding in foam-cored sandwich structures can be modelled as foam failure instead of as interface failure, decreasing the computational time and the pre-processing efforts.

description: In current times with the advancement of technology, there has also been a rampant ascent in the use of social media services to barter information and belief. In this research, we accumulated data from the microblogging website Twitter regarding the New Education Policy (NEP 2020-2022) to understand the sentiments that the public shared on a national level. We used models to assort and analyze the emotion based on a compilation of around 22,000 tweets on the New Education Policy (NEP) topic. We conducted our analysis by applying CountVectorizer and TF-IDF and identified that CountVectorizer performed superior to TF-IDF. In addition, we also used Naive Bayes, Decision Trees, Random Forests, Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, and Support Vector Machines and also identified that Logistic Regression had the superior assorting accuracy.
Investigation of new formulation systems for the preparation of nanoparticles via Polymerisation-Induced Self-Assembly

description: This work explores new ways of preparing reactive polymer-based nanoparticles prepared through polymerisation-induced self-assembly (PISA). PISA is an emerging and advantageous method to prepare well-defined diblock copolymer nanoparticles but the literature up until now has only demonstrated few examples of incorporating reactive functional groups. This work centres on the 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl (PFB) moiety - an underexplored reactive functionality - in the monomer 2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzyl methacrylate (PFBMA). In order to explore the reactivity of the PFB group the monomer was reacted with sodium azide to give, in quantitative conversion, the 4-azido-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzyl-functional species, a previously unreported compound. This species was further transformed into amine, amide, 1,2,3-triazole and amidine. Next, PFBMA was used in PISA formulations with poly[poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate] (pPEGMA) as macromolecular chain transfer agent. pPEGMApPFBMA nano-objects presented spheres, worms, or vesicles morphologies with examples of worms samples forming free-standing gels that underwent a reversible degelation and morphological transition to spheres upon heating. This work demonstrated that PFBMA is as versatile as the commonly used benzyl methacrylate. Significantly, however, the use of PFBMA allowed the inclusion of reactive functionality into the nanoparticle cores. This is novel as most literature-known examples of reactive PISA particles feature corona-reactive species. Herein, the reactivity of the PFB group towards nucleophilic aromatic substitution with thiols was exploited and several key advantages of the novel reactive PISA particles are highlighted: (i) the use of 1,8-octanedithiol to cross-link the cores prevented particles disintegration in non-selective solvents and resulted in the loss of the thermo-responsive behaviour; (ii) using polar thiols, particles underwent a order-disorder sphere-to-unimer transition, loosing their well defined character; (iii) large thiols resulted in size increase or order-order sphere-to-worm transition including gelation of worms. This latter case represents the first example of a chemically triggered morphological transition following an increase of the packing parameter. It is anticipated that the understanding gained in this work will contribute to the future development of reactive “universal nanoparticle precursors” that can be easily modified into functional nanoparticles with predictable size, shape, and behaviour on demand.

description: Transposable elements (TEs) are notable drivers of genetic innovation. Over evolutionary time, TE insertions can supply new promoter, enhancer, and insulator elements to protein-coding genes and establish novel, species-specific gene regulatory networks. Conversely, ongoing TE-driven insertional mutagenesis, nonhomologous recombination, and other potentially deleterious processes can cause sporadic disease by disrupting genome integrity or inducing abrupt gene expression changes. Here, we discuss recent evidence suggesting that TEs may contribute regulatory innovation to mammalian embryonic and pluripotent states as a means to ward off complete repression by their host genome.
Modeling of flow and mixing inside gas turbine pre-swirl cavities

Year: 2020

description: This thesis concerns the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model the flow and mixing inside gas turbine pre-swirl cavities and the application of cooled cooling air (CCA) to improve the performance of the secondary air system. The use of wall-modeled large-eddy simulation (WMLES) to model the flows inside the pre-swirl cavity was evaluated. The work also investigated the application of cooled-cooling air (CCA) in gas turbine pre-swirl systems in order to reduce the amount of cooling air required for turbine blade cooling. The results of these studies are relevant to the design of CCA concepts for future aero-engines. The interaction between cooled and un-cooled cooling air (UCA) pre-swirl jets was studied using various computational models. These included both direct-feed and cover-plate type pre-swirl systems, and various nozzle configurations. The research also included comparison with experimental CCA/UCA pre-swirl rig results and a good agreement between the computational and experimental results was obtained using different turbulence modeling approaches. An engine-scale model of this rig was simulated using engine-representative boundary conditions. The mixing characteristics of the engine model was found to be similar to those of the test rig. Cover-plate type pre-swirl systems were found to be more efficient in mixing the CCA and UCA flows compared with the direct-transfer systems. An alternating CCA-UCA pre-swirl nozzle configuration (nozzles placed at the same radial location) was also found to promote mixing of the two streams due to the relative motion of the preswirl nozzles on the stator and the receiver holes on the rotor disc. The prospects of preferentially feeding the turbine blades using the colder cooling air stream were also investigated. The studied two-row feed CCA/UCA nozzle arrangements were found to be suitable for this purpose with the mixing predictions showing sensitivity to turbulence modeling. A parametric study including various two-row feed pre-swirl system configurations is presented. The CFD simulations were performed using the HYDRA and ANSYS FLUENT CFD solvers. The solutions given by both CFD solvers show an overall good agreement in predictions of mean flow field, and small differences for the prediction of instantaneous flow field. Computational investigations of the unsteady flows inside alternating-feed CCA/UCA pre-swirl systems were also performed using computational models with different nozzle arrangements and non-nozzle passing frequency unsteadiness was observed in these investigations
