Numerical simulation and experimental investigation of the effect of three-layer annular coaxial shroud on gas-powder flow in laser cladding (2022)
Journal Article

Laser cladding is a notable metal additive manufacturing (AM). The outstanding benefit of laser cladding is that the cladding process is more flexible and it can be completed in an open environment. However, oxidation phenomenon of active metals such...

Transient CFD modelling of air–water two-phase annular flow characteristics in a small horizontal circular pipe (2022)
Journal Article

The liquid film formed around the inner walls of a small horizontal circular pipe often exhibits non-uniform distributions circumferentially, where the film is thinner at the top surface than the bottom one. Even with this known phenomenon, the probl... Read More about Transient CFD modelling of air–water two-phase annular flow characteristics in a small horizontal circular pipe.

Unsteady flow oscillations in a 3-D ventilated model room with convective heat transfer (2022)
Journal Article

Improving indoor air quality and energy consumption is one of the high demands in the building sector. In this study, unsteady flow oscillations in a 3-D ventilated model room with convective heat transfer have been studied for three configurations o...

Optimisation of straight plate upstream deflector for the performance enhancement of vertical axis wind turbine at low, medium and high regimes of tip speed ratios (2022)
Journal Article

Location and geometry optimisations of Straight Plate Upstream Deflector (SPUD) for performance enhancement of a three-straightbladed Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) are carried out at three regimes of tip speed ratios (TSRs). Results analysis reve...

A review on the use of passive flow control devices as performance enhancement of lift-type vertical axis wind turbines (2022)
Journal Article

This article provides a comprehensive review about passive flow control devices (PFCDs) implemented in lift-type vertical axis wind turbine (LVAWT), focusing on the underlying flow physics mechanisms and to what extents they can improve the LVAWT per...
