Artificial Intelligence have attracted considerable attention from researchers in environmental fluid dynamics over the last decade, especially Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) which can provide a...
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...
Controlled-release tablets are manufactured to dissolve slowly and release active ingredients at a predictable rate so they can sustain a small amount of medication into...
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...
Liquid jets are widely encountered from ink jet printing to ‘big industry’ which frequently use high velocity jets to decontaminate surfaces (remove radionuclides or heavy...
Settling of solid particles in fluids are seen in numerous industrial and natural situations, ranging from pharmaceutical processing to sedimentation in oceans. Whilst empirical and...
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....
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...
Liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) are a new class of soft materials which have a myriad of potential uses due to their unique properties. Direct-Ink Writing...
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 be...
