Quenching of radicals and micro-mixing in micro-combustion

This project will investigate the dominant issue of radical quenching on solid surfaces in a micro-combustor as well as micro-mixing with the objective of enabling flame stabilisati more...

JANA: a Java- based mixing pattern analyser for complex networks.

Many distributed systems in the real world, including social, biological and technical systems can be modelled as complex networks. During the past few years a number of new graph t more...

3D millimetre wave radar imaging using a low cost plasma display

It has long been known that Glow Discharge Detectors (GDDs or neon bulbs) are able to detect microwave, millimetre wave and even THz radiation. Recent work has also showed that in a more...

The modes of granular segregation

Granular segregation will be studied using dynamic X-ray tomography. This will be a pioneering study into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of segregation. more...

Levee formation in debris flows and avalanches

Levees are a feature of many gravity current flows, yet their formation is not fully understood. This project will track their formation in laboratory scale experiments, and develop more...

Crushable granular flows

In both earthquakes and landslides, grains are often crushed during flow. This changes the flowing behaviour, and causes the flow to accelerate. This project will develop an experim more...

Beyond Deep Blue: A complex network approach to playing chess

If you play chess, you may have noticed that often we have to calculate the net pressure on certain pieces (i.e how many pieces are 'attacking' it and how many pieces are defending more...

Process intensification of fluidised bed reactors

The aim of the project is investigate novel fluidised bed configurations that will improve performance and reduce capital and operating costs for commercial installations. more...

Asteroseismology: probing inside stars using stellar oscillations

Measuring oscillations in stars like the Sun using asteroseismology is a powerful new method for exploring their internal structures and testing physical theories. more...
