Developing high-fidelity fluid dynamics simulations for sustainable aviation.
The drive towards net-zero sustainable aviation transport means that new, radical changes in technology are needed that can drastically improve aircraft efficiency. Read more
Computational modelling of flexible wave energy converters
Whilst solar and wind energies have become dominant options in the renewable energy sector, wave energy is yet to become truly competitive. Read more
PhD Studentship in Active wake aerodynamics using machine learning
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of aerodynamics, leading to the award of a PhD degree. . Aerodynamic drag is the dominant source of driving resistance above 70km/h. Read more
PV soiling – Design of sustainable cleaning system
Global warming is mainly due to the high growth in carbon emissions and pollution worldwide. At present, most countries have set carbon reduction goals. Read more
Development of solar concentrator for hydrogen production in solar thermochemical water-splitting cycle
The UK has set an ambitious commitment of achieving net zero by 2050. Low carbon hydrogen is expected to play a vital role in the next few decades. Read more
Optimisation of geothermal energy extraction
Geothermal energy offers a huge amount of near zero emission energy, with a small ground footprint at extraction. This can be used for power production, heating, drying and energy storage. Read more
Experimental study on flame instability of zero-carbon fuels
This project is sponsored by the UK Engineering and Physical Science Research Council, and it is part of the EPSRC’s portfolio for sustainable energy including hydrogen and bioenergy. Read more
Mathematical modelling of cavitation development
Cavitation generation has been much of a mystery for more than a century. A core unresolved challenge is how bubble growth subject to acoustic forcing occurs over millions of cycles of oscillation, which cannot be simulated by any CFD packages. Read more
A novel membrane-free flow battery for renewable energy storage: Prototype Design by Simulation
PROJECT REFERENCE NUMBER. Please select SCEBE-22SF-NMFFB-Chen from the drop-down list or add this to your proposal writeup. BACKGROUND. Read more
Simulations of Floating Offshore Wind
There is limited practical industrial experience in installing and operating of floating wind turbines, due to their relative novelty, especially compared to fixed offshore wind turbines. Read more
Mixing in Engineered Water Systems – Relating Dispersion to Energy Loss
Taylor (1954) described the process of longitudinal dispersion in highly turbulent flow in a simple uniform pipe. To-date his analytical equilibrium approach remains the primary tool for modelling mixing in most 1D engineered water network models. Read more

Finding a novel integrated phase-change material (PCM) with thermal system for building application: A nearly net-zero carbon emission and green strategy in enhancing the sustainable built environment
Phase-change material (PCM) has the capability to enhance the indoor thermal comfort of a building as well as it has the potential to balance the heat and cool effect of a building material, especially when the material is exposed to severe environment. Read more
Fire suppression capabilities of gas-like micromist
The proclamation of the Montreal protocol in 1987, phasing out ozone depleting halons as fire suppression agent has led to a worldwide research and development effort to find alternative systems. Read more
