A simple ghost fluid method for compressible multicomponent flows with capillary effects
(Elsevier, 2021-01-01)A novel way of implementing surface tension effects in sharp-interface compressible flow models is proposed, aiming to address problems where liquid compressibility and capillarity are both important. The method is built ... -
Recirculation regions in wakes with base bleed
(American Physical Society, 2021-03-01)The appearance of detached recirculation regions in wakes with base bleed determines the aerodynamic properties of many natural organisms and technological applications. In this work we introduce an analytical model which ... -
Analytical all-induction state model for wind turbine wakes
(American Physical Society, 2022-03-01)Analytical wind turbine wake models are an integral component of wind farm design and optimization. However, when the turbine induction factor increases, these models are prone to failure, as they do not account for the ... -
Numerical and experimental investigation into the dynamics of a bubble-free-surface system
(American Physical Society, 2021-01-01)The aim of the present work is to study the interaction between an oscillating bubble and a free surface. We perform a series of experiments and numerical simulations and attempt to characterize both early and late stages ... -
An analytical blockage correction model for high-solidity turbines
(Cambridge University Press, 2022-10-10)A significant challenge in the experimental or computational characterisation of porous bodies and wind turbines is the correction of the obtained flow quantities for wall interference effects. Conventional corrective ... -
A sharp-interface model for grid-resolved cavitating flows
(Elsevier, 2022-04-01)A sharp-interface model for cavitating flows is presented in this work. The proposed model can deal with the dynamic evolution of cavitation, and considers both phase change and pre-existing gas expansion mechanisms. The ... -
Numerical modelling of acoustic wave propagation through a bubble column
(2023-01-01)Understanding the propagation of an acoustic wave through a region of bubbles has a number of applications in underwater acoustics including the analysis of bubble screen performance. Used to reduce the impact of high ... -

Data-driven prediction of laminar burning velocity for ternary ammonia/hydrogen/methane/air premixed flames
(Elsevier, 2024-07)Zero-carbon fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia play a pivotal role in the energy transition by offering cleaner alternatives to natural gas (methane), especially in industrial combustion systems. Binary and ternary blends ... -
Effects of Leading-Edge Blowing Control and Reduced Frequency on Aerofoil Aerodynamic Performances
(ASME International, 2024-04-11)Aerofoil leading-edge fluid-blowing control is computationally studied to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The fluid injection momentum coefficient Cu (the ratio of injection to incoming square velocities times the slot's ... -
Bismuth-Based Perovskite Derivates with Thermal Voltage Exceeding 40 mV/K
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2024)Heat is an inexhaustible source of energy, and it can be exploited by thermoelectronics to produce electrical power or electrical responses. The search for a low-cost thermoelectric material that could achieve high ... -
Quantifying the Hydrophobic Effect per CF2 Moiety from Adsorption of Fluorinated Alcohols at the Water/Oil Interface
(MDPI, 2024)Amphiphilic fluorocarbon substances are a trending topic of research due to their wide range of applications accompanied by an alarming environmental and health impact. In order to predict their fate in the environment, ... -
