Simulation of three-component two-phase flow in porous media using method of lines (2016)
Journal Article
Goudarzi, S., Mathias, S., & Gluyas, J. (2016). Simulation of three-component two-phase flow in porous media using method of lines. Transport in Porous Media, 112(1), 1-19. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11242-016-0639-5

Numerical simulation of compositional flow problems commonly involves the use of 1st- or 2nd-order Euler time stepping. Method of lines (MOL), using highly accurate and efficient ODE solvers, is an alternative technique which, although frequently app...

Influence of initial water content on the mechanical behaviour of an unsaturated sandy clay soil (2016)
Journal Article
Mendes, J., & Toll, D. (2016). Influence of initial water content on the mechanical behaviour of an unsaturated sandy clay soil. International Journal of Geomechanics, 16(6), Article D4016005. https://doi.org/10.1061/%28asce%29gm.1943-5622.0000594

The mechanical behavior of a sandy clay soil was investigated by a series of constant water content triaxial tests on unsaturated samples with suction measurements. The tests were carried out in double-cell triaxial cells on compacted samples and als...

Chemisorption power generation driven by low grade heat – Theoretical analysis and comparison with pumpless ORC (2016)
Journal Article
Bao, H., Ma, Z., & Roskilly, A. P. (2017). Chemisorption power generation driven by low grade heat – Theoretical analysis and comparison with pumpless ORC. Applied Energy, 186, 282-290. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2016.01.022

Sorption cycles have been extensively developed for waste heat recovery to deliver cooling, heating, and electricity. Chemisorption cycles using metallic salts as sorbents and ammonia as working fluid have been explored in this work for the maximum p...

On using Feature Descriptors as Visual Words for Object Detection within X-ray Baggage Security Screening (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kundegorski, M., Akcay, S., Devereux, M., Mouton, A., & Breckon, T. (2016, January). On using Feature Descriptors as Visual Words for Object Detection within X-ray Baggage Security Screening. Presented at International Conference on Imaging for Crime Detection and Prevention, Madrid, Spain

Here we explore the use of various feature point descriptors as visual word variants within a Bag-of-Visual-Words (BoVW) representation scheme for image classification based threat detection within baggage security X-ray imagery. Using a classical Bo... Read More about On using Feature Descriptors as Visual Words for Object Detection within X-ray Baggage Security Screening.

Numerical simulation of fracking in shale rocks: current state and future approaches (2016)
Journal Article
Hattori, G., Trevelyan, J., Augarde, C., Coombs, W., & Aplin, A. (2017). Numerical simulation of fracking in shale rocks: current state and future approaches. Archives of Computational Methods in Engineering, 24(2), 281-317. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11831-016-9169-0

Extracting gas from shale rocks is one of the current engineering challenges but offers the prospect of cheap gas. Part of the development of an effective engineering solution for shale gas extraction in the future will be the availability of reliabl...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) – from analysing methodology development to introducing an LCA framework for marine photovoltaic (PV) systems (2016)
Journal Article
Ling-Chin, J., Heidrich, O., & Roskilly, A. (2016). Life cycle assessment (LCA) – from analysing methodology development to introducing an LCA framework for marine photovoltaic (PV) systems. Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 59, 352-378. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rser.2015.12.058

Previously, life cycle assessment (LCA) focussing on principles or applications has been considerably reviewed. Still, an up-to-date review on LCA methodology development (rather than application) in a chronological order which embraces all life-cycl...

Jet flame heights, lift-off distances, and mean flame surface density for extensive ranges of fuels and flow rates (2016)
Journal Article
Bradley, D., Gaskell, P. H., Gu, X., & Palacios, A. (2016). Jet flame heights, lift-off distances, and mean flame surface density for extensive ranges of fuels and flow rates. Combustion and Flame, 164, 400-409. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.combustflame.2015.09.009

An extensive review and re-thinking of jet flame heights and structure, extending into the choked/supersonic regime is presented, with discussion of the limitations of previous flame height correlations. Completely new dimensionless correlations for... Read More about Jet flame heights, lift-off distances, and mean flame surface density for extensive ranges of fuels and flow rates.
