DNS of transitional and turbulent flow simulations (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Yao, Y., & Zheng, Y. (2015, July). DNS of transitional and turbulent flow simulations. Presented at The First Chinese International Conference on CFD, Mianyang, China

An in-house direct numerical simulation (DNS) code SBLI has been developed and used extensively for high-performance computation (HPC) of transitional and turbulent flows, most related to shock/boundary-layer interaction problems. The code has also p... Read More about DNS of transitional and turbulent flow simulations.

CFD of air/water two-phase flow in small horizontal pipe (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Yao, J., & Yao, Y. (2015, July). CFD of air/water two-phase flow in small horizontal pipe. Paper presented at The First Chinese International Conference on CFD, Mianyang, China

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been applied to investigate air/water two-phase flow characteristics in an 8.8mm I.D small horizontal pipe. Simulation has successfully predicted water film thickness using newly developed user defined wave func... Read More about CFD of air/water two-phase flow in small horizontal pipe.

LES of hypersonic flow over a 3D single-fin (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Fang, J., Yao, Y., Lu, L., & Zheng, Y. (2015, July). LES of hypersonic flow over a 3D single-fin. Presented at The First Chinese International Conference on CFD, Mianyang, China

LES of hypersonic flow passing a 3D single-fin at Mach 5 and Re∞=3.7×107/m was conducted using a newly developed 7th-order low-dissipation monotonicity-preserving NS solver with dynamic Smagorinsky subgrid model. The simulation captures salient flow... Read More about LES of hypersonic flow over a 3D single-fin.

Systematic analysis of video data from different human-robot interaction studies: A categorisation of social signals during error situations (2015)
Journal Article
Giuliani, M., Mirnig, N., Stollnberger, G., Stadler, S., Buchner, R., & Tscheligi, M. (2015). Systematic analysis of video data from different human-robot interaction studies: A categorisation of social signals during error situations. Frontiers in Psychology, 6(931), https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.00931

Human–robot interactions are often affected by error situations that are caused by either the robot or the human. Therefore, robots would profit from the ability to recognize when error situations occur. We investigated the verbal and non-verbal soci...

How ants use quorum sensing to estimate the average quality of a fluctuating resource (2015)
Journal Article
Franks, N. R., Stuttard, J. P., Doran, C., Esposito, J. C., Master, M. C., Sendova-Franks, A. B., …Britton, N. F. (2015). How ants use quorum sensing to estimate the average quality of a fluctuating resource. Scientific Reports, 5(11890), https://doi.org/10.1038/srep11890

© 2015, Nature Publishing Group. All rights reserved. We show that one of the advantages of quorum-based decision-making is an ability to estimate the average value of a resource that fluctuates in quality. By using a quorum threshold, namely the num...

Influence of exposure guidelines on the design of on-body inductive power transfer (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Clare, L., Worgan, P., Stark, B. H., Adami, S. E., & Coyle, D. (2015). Influence of exposure guidelines on the design of on-body inductive power transfer. In 2015 IEEE Wireless Power Transfer Conference (WPTC). https://doi.org/10.1109/wpt.2015.7140171

Designers of on-body health sensing devices with inductive power transfer (IPT) face a number of trade-offs. Safe exposure limits should be maintained, and protective housing and padding are generally needed; however, these impose compromises on the...
