Traditional CFD algorithms have achieved a high degree of sophistication for modelling fluid flows in the past five decades. This sophistication can be seen clearly in one dimensional modelling, with a wide variety of ...

In this work, the linear stability of compressible shear flows in channels and pipes are studied. A steady fully-developed laminar flow of an ideal gas, driven in a channel and a pipe by a constant body acceleration, is ...

Rapidly evolving technologies in the autonomous operation of Uninhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and associated developments in low-cost sensors have created significant interest among researchers in using them for various ...

RNA viruses are the underlying cause of many human diseases, including the common cold, influenza, dengue fever, and COVID-19. Their ability to evolve rapidly makes them challenging to tackle, resulting in public health ...

Thermal energy storage systems (TESS) based on chemisorption/thermochemical reactions have several advantages over conventional thermal storage systems based on sensible and latent heat. The advantages include high energy ...

Buildings consume more than 40% of the primary energy produced globally, making them the leading contributors to climate change and global warming. Effectively reducing building energy is essential to reduce its energy ...

Hydrogels are soft materials that exhibit nonlinear mechanical behavior under large deformations but can fail catastrophically, limiting their applications. Developing tough, biocompatible hydrogels with high strength and ...

Decades of research aim to shield structures and people from impact and shock, mitigating damage and traumatic brain injuries. The development of novel structures to absorb energy and reduce stress waves in structures ...

The foundations of tall structures such as transmission towers are subjected to loads in three directions coming from wind and other environmental events. The use of anchors for application in transmission tower foundations ...

Concrete structures such as bridges, pavements and off shore structures are subjected to fluctuating loading throughout their service life. These fluctuating loads cause progressive internal damage to structures leading ...
