Formal calibration methodology relating to CFD models of naturally ventilated internal environments
(2013-08-16)The building sector is responsible for 40% of total global energy consumption. Half of the energy consumed by buildings relates to heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. Natural ventilation can provide ... -
In silico bone tissue engineering - a multiscale and multiphysics approach
(2016-07-26)Mechanical stimulation in terms of fluid flow and mechanical strain can enhance the osteogenesis. Biomaterial scaffolds used in bone tissue engineering experiments have extremely complex geometry, which will result in the ... -
Investigation of Biomass Combustion in Grate Furnaces using CFD
(2012-12-12)Channelling is an undesirable phenomenon in the fixed-bed combustion of biomass. It is characterised by an uneven air distribution, and thus fuel conversion, throughout the fuel bed. Attempts to mitigate the channelling ... -
Modelling shear-induced platelet aggregation in general flow
(2016-11-07)Blood-contacting biomedical devices are ubiquitous in current medical practice. Blood is very sensitive to non-physiological conditions, and it can be harmed by the biomedical device in a number of different ways. A very ... -
OpenFOAM computational fluid dynamics studies on the ocean-atmosphere
(2015-09-05)Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is the use of applied mathematics, physics, and computational software to visualize how a fluid flows around objects. CFD is based on the Navier-Stokes equations, which describe how the ...
