Break-up and atomisation mechanisms in high pressure fuel sprays. The focus of this research is discovering the underlying mechanisms that give rise to the break-up and atomisation of high pressure sprays such as those found in many engines. The program of research makes use of a range of purpose designed experimental facilities and methodologies which are at the forefront of research in this area. The outcomes from this research will yield improved spray models giving rise to a new era of low e ....Break-up and atomisation mechanisms in high pressure fuel sprays.

Numerical and experimental studies of the gas-particle flow and dust collection in electrostatic precipitation systems. This project will generate an integrated computer model to describe the gas-solid flow and dust collection in an ElectroStatic Precipitator (ESP). The model can be used to aid the design and control of ESP systems which are widely used for dust collection, leading to more competitive energy and related industries.
