This project seeks to overcome current obstacles to predictive modelling of nucleate boiling in droplets impacting on realistic non-uniform heated surfaces. The key development will...
Decarbonising space heating is a central focus of the UK’s goal to attain net zero emissions by 2050. One promising source of zero-carbon heat is...
The addition of small concentrations of high-molecular-weight polymers to particle-laden flows to separate non-settling fine solids from aqueous suspensions is a promising method to instigate...
High speed rail is a sustainable mode of transport that has the potential to help meet global ‘net zero’ targets. However, although train movement is...
The next generation of commercial aircraft must meet exceptionally challenging design requirements including the use of hydrogen and/or electric powered jet engines to deliver on...
Wastewater treatment processes have high energy costs and are challenging to optimise due to the complex coupled processes occurring. Over 10 billion litres of sewage...
Hyperloop is a newly proposed mode of transportation where vehicles move within a tube held at vacuum-type conditions at speeds of up to 1200km/h. Currently,...
Due to radiation and wide use of reactive metals, the nuclear industry has always to be mindful of the generation of flammable gases, principally hydrogen....
Our ability to confidently predict the safety of a nuclear waste repository depends on our ability to correctly model the interaction of fluids residing in...
