Background: Providing respiratory support to people with conditions including COVID-19 and pneumonia is an essential part of modern healthcare. Simple interventions like CPAP (Continuous Positive...
Pre-filled medical syringes (or vials) are prepared via an automated process that require drastic control measures. Indeed, during their preparation, small particles may find their...
Understanding convection is important in a range of geophysical problems. For example, in the interior of the Earth in the fluid outer core or in...
Microfluidic devices are promising to revolutionise the biomedical industry from rapid disease diagnostics and modelling to high-throughput drug screening and assessment. Much of the engineering...
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can assist in treatment planning for cardio/cerebrovascular interventions. This project involves the development of fully-automatic images-to-simulation workflows that can be...
Have you ever felt uncomfortable or suffocated in crowds in a shopping mall? Do you know how fast an airborne contagious disease can spread in...
Several industries require airflow characterisation around large objects for safety and engineering purposes, such as construction/architecture, aviation, wind energy, and air quality. Despite CFD advances,...
Understanding the effect of airflow in enclosed/indoor environments is of great interest due to its close relationship to occupant’s health, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency....
Omissions in our current understanding of the fundamental behaviour of fluid flow in porous media and its interaction with impermeable barriers such as earthquake faults...
The discovery of several thousand planets orbiting other stars is the most exciting development in modern astrophysics. Observations indicate that gravitational tidal interactions between these...
