AbstractCustomer requirements and vision in aerospace dictate that the next generation of civil transport aircraft should have a strong emphasis on increased safety, reduced environmental impact and reduced cost without sacrificing performance. In this context, the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Queen’s University of Belfast and Bombardier have, in recent years, been conducting research into some of the key aerodynamic technologies for the next generation of aircraft engine nacelles. Investigations have been performed into anti-icing technology, efficient thrust reversal, engine fire zone safety, life cycle cost and integration of the foregoing with other considerations in engine and aircraft design. A unique correlation for heat transfer in an anti-icing system has been developed. The effect of normal vibration on heat transfer in such systems has been found to be negligible. It has been shown that carefully designed natural blockage thrust reversers without a cascade can reduce aircraft weight with only a small sacrifice in the reversed thrust. A good understanding of the pressure relief doors and techniques to improve the performance of such doors have been developed. Trade off studies between aerodynamics, manufacturing and assembly of engine nacelles have shown the potential for a significant reduction in life cycle cost.

Neomesomermis flumenalis is a univoltine nematode infecting the simuliids Prosimulium fuscum/mixtum during the winter months and the first (early spring) generations of the summer simuliids, primarily Simulium venustum, in May and early June. Infection of simuliid larvae occurred when water temperatures were 4–12 °C. Data extrapolated from late-instar larvae and pupae indicated that less than 0.03% and 0.06% of the P. fuscum/mixtum and S. venustum adults, respectively, were infected with this parasite, which is primarily a parasite of larval simuliids. Adult simuliids were not considered to be the source of the next generation of mermithids. The apparent host specificity of N. flumenalis is attributed to the close synchronization of the parasite life cycle with the life cycle of those simuliid species which overwinter in the larval stage and develop at temperatures less than 12 °C; temperatures above this level tend to be lethal to the preparasitic mermithids and simuliid species developing in the summer are thus not infected by this species. Male mermithids were more numerous than females in the Prosimulium populations but females outnumbered male mermithids in the S. venustum populations. When only a single mermithid parasitized a simuliid larva, the nematode was always a female; when more than one nematode parasitized a single larva, the nematodes were usually males.
