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...
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...
Arctic sea ice influences the Earth’s radiation budget through its relatively large albedo, and thus plays an important role in the Earth’s climate system. Hence,...
Figure 1: (a) NVIDIA A100 (source of imge of NVIDIA A100). (b) Turbulent flow simulations using GPUs and LBM-based CFD Computer hardware is changing noticeably...
The planetary boundary layer (the first 1–2 km above the surface) is the most dynamic and turbulent layer of Earth’s atmosphere, contributing the greatest uncertainty...
Understanding the effect of airflow in indoor environments is of great interest due to its close relationship to occupant’s safety, thermal comfort, energy and infection...
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,...
Surface of most natural plant leaves, animal skins and insect bodies are covered by ordered micro- and nanoscale structures with various morphologies. Understanding the performance...
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...
