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.

Testing of avionics (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Wright, S. (2015, June). Testing of avionics. Presented at Intelligent Testing 2015, UWE, Bristol, UK

In this talk, Dr Steve Wright discusses some of the tools and methods used for performing Hardware-in-the-Loop testing of aircraft avionics. The talk will discuss the objectives of avionics test, how these tests are performed, and the equipment neede... Read More about Testing of avionics.

Robot-assisted system for joint fracture surgery (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Georgilas, I., Dagnino, G., Tarassoli, P., Atkins, R., & Dogramadzi, S. (2015, June). Robot-assisted system for joint fracture surgery. Poster presented at Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS) 2015, Vancouver

Incidence of fractures is steadily increasing and is expected that in 2025, Germany will have the largest number of fractures per year in Europe (≈928,000), followed by the UK (≈682,000) (Hernlund 2013). This work is concerned with distal-femur-fract... Read More about Robot-assisted system for joint fracture surgery.

Force-torque measurement system For fracture surgery (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Dagnino, G., Georgilas, I., Tarassoli, P., Atkins, R., & Dogramadzi, S. (2015, June). Force-torque measurement system For fracture surgery. Paper presented at Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS) 2015, Vancouver

Many surgical procedures are now performed using the techniques of minimally invasive surgery (MIS), in which the surgeon manipulates instruments inserted into the patients through small incisions. In MIS, the surgeon has no direct contact with inter... Read More about Force-torque measurement system For fracture surgery.

Model based testing of avionics (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Wright, S. (2015, June). Model based testing of avionics. Presented at Model Driven Engineering 2015, West Sussex, England

A presentation on the use of modelling and simulation, and its role in the testing process for manned aircraft avionics.

Investigation into transient SFO, FFO, VFTO overvoltage characteristics for typical gas insulated substations (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Nouri, H., Kim, J., & Czumbil, L. (2015, June). Investigation into transient SFO, FFO, VFTO overvoltage characteristics for typical gas insulated substations. Paper presented at International Conference on Power Systems Transient (IPST), Croatia

Overvoltage characteristics of typical single bus, double bus and one and a half bus GIS configurations under transient SFO, FFO and VFTO conditions are studied. The transient conditions are simulated through load rejections, lightning and the openi...

Emotional engineering – the story of Robots vs Animals (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Fogg-Rogers, L. A., Sardo, M., & Boushel, C. (2015, June). Emotional engineering – the story of Robots vs Animals. Paper presented at Stories about Science: Exploring Science Communication and Entertainment Media, Manchester

We are told that engineering is in crisis, with double the number of engineers needed by 2020. Only 7% of the UK’s engineering workforce is female, so many outreach programmes now focus on girls as the next generation. However, engineering is portra...
