Summary
Modelling and simulation of instabilities in unsaturated soils due to wetting. Ground instabilities due to wetting are a critical issue that will be investigated through this project via the development of risk assessment tools. A rational engineering approach and calculation framework will be developed in order to predict failures and facilitate the design of new safer structures.
Advanced Bayesian Inversion Algorithms for Wave Propagation. This project aims to improve algorithms for detecting hidden items by developing new computational mathematical techniques capable of reconstructing the shape and location of objects using electromagnetic waves. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the areas of Bayesian Inversion and computational wave propagation. Expected outcomes of this project are algorithms that can be developed for use in nonintrusive radio wave sec ....Advanced Bayesian Inversion Algorithms for Wave Propagation. This project aims to improve algorithms for detecting hidden items by developing new computational mathematical techniques capable of reconstructing the shape and location of objects using electromagnetic waves. This project expects to generate new knowledge in the areas of Bayesian Inversion and computational wave propagation. Expected outcomes of this project are algorithms that can be developed for use in nonintrusive radio wave security scanners. This should provide benefits such as the capability to scan a crowd without a checkpoint, which will have the potential to improve security in public places.Read moreRead less
Fundamental investigation of heat and mass transfer in nanofluids: a mechanistic approach. This project aims to develop a mathematical model in order to predict complex boiling in using nanofluids as new coolant for heat removal. Implementation and resultant computer codes thereafter will provide industries with significant benefits and reduce times and costs in their future design of ultra-high efficient heat removal systems.
Uncertainty on spheres and shells: mathematics and methods for applications. This project aims to develop new mathematics and mathematically rigorous approximation methods for physical problems on spherical geometries in the presence of uncertainty. Many physical phenomena are modelled on either a sphere or a spherical shell. Such models typically have large uncertainty in the input data, through uncertainty in model coefficients, forcing terms, geometry or boundary conditions. Yet their stochas ....Uncertainty on spheres and shells: mathematics and methods for applications. This project aims to develop new mathematics and mathematically rigorous approximation methods for physical problems on spherical geometries in the presence of uncertainty. Many physical phenomena are modelled on either a sphere or a spherical shell. Such models typically have large uncertainty in the input data, through uncertainty in model coefficients, forcing terms, geometry or boundary conditions. Yet their stochastic modelling and subsequent numerical analysis in the presence of uncertainty are still in their infancy. This project will conduct numerical analysis, stochastic analysis and approximation to address such problems.Read moreRead less
