The present project aims to aims to investigate the combustion characteristics for H2/LPG under elevated pressures and temperatures. Experiments will utilise a state-of-the-art Rapid Compression...
Issues of climate change, fuel supply and CO2 emissions provide exciting prospects for the investigation of new and improved fuels. Turbocharging is becoming an increasingly...
There is increasing demand for the development of new fuels for automotive, power generation, industrial and other applications. This is driven by issues of climate...
Research into new combustion strategies requires a new approach to data analysis. This project will support future Jaguar-LandRover engine programmes by providing state-of-the-art thermodynamic analysis...
The drive for energy efficiency and low emissions is placing increasing demands on combustor design with schemes such as lean premixed pre-vaporised combustion, stratified combustions...
Future advanced military aircraft face an appreciable technical challenge to design thermal management systems of adequate capacity within the available space and respecting special installation...
Recent results of RS, using ergodic theory of dynamical systems, and a study of return time dynamics, determine the rate of fluid mixing in (very...
The overall aim of the proposed research is to predict the effects of corrosion and erosion for pipeline assurance using both theoretical simulation and experimental...
This project will combine Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) with the time-resolved high-speed Particle-Image Velocimetry (PIV) of turbulent flows in a reciprocating internal combustion engine. While it...
Assessment of external spaces is of primary importance due to the close interaction between, and use by, people of both internal and external spaces. A...
