Creating statistics e-assessments using Dewis with embedded R code (2016)
Journal Article
Weir, I., Gwynllyw, R., & Henderson, K. (2017). Creating statistics e-assessments using Dewis with embedded R code. MSOR Connections, 15(2), 51-59

We report on the creation of statistics e-assessments using the Dewis system with embedded R code. Dewis is a fully algorithmic open-source e-assessment system designed and developed at the University of the West of England, Bristol (UWE). Dewis’ abi...

Using electronic exams to provide engineering mathematics students with rapid feedback (2016)
Book Chapter
Henderson, K., Gwynllyw, R., & Hooper, A. (2016). Using electronic exams to provide engineering mathematics students with rapid feedback. In D. Velichova, T. Gustafsson, U. Dinger, & B. Alpers (Eds.), The 18th SEFI Mathematics Working Group Seminar on Mathematics in Engineering Education Proceedings (105-111). SEFI European Society for Engineering Education

With increased sophistication and capabilities of e-Assessment systems it would seem that online examinations will become standard practice, particularly for numerate subjects, in the near future. We have gained valuable experience in this area thro... Read More about Using electronic exams to provide engineering mathematics students with rapid feedback.

Using e-assessment to improve numeracy in pre-registration nurses and midwives (2015)
Book Chapter

Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability (2015)
Book Chapter
Weir, I., Gwynllyw, R., & Henderson, K. (2015). Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability. In IATED (Ed.), Edulearn15 Proceedings. IATED

In this paper we illustrate how we have used technology to teach and efficiently assess statistics within a Level 2 research skills module delivered to Business School students. The student cohort was a large diverse group of non-mathematicians and t... Read More about Using technology to inspire and enhance the learning of statistics in a large cohort of diverse ability.

Using e-assessment to promote engagement in engineering mathematics (2015)
Book Chapter
Henderson, K., Gwynllyw, R., Hooper, A. P., & Palipana, A. (2015). Using e-assessment to promote engagement in engineering mathematics. In M. A. Hersh, & M. Kotecha (Eds.), Conference Proceedings - IMA International Conference on Barriers and Enablers to Learning Maths: Enhancing Learning and Teaching for All Learners. IMA

The number of engineering students at the University of the West of England has increased substantially over the last few years and this has in part led to challenges in the delivery and monitoring of students taking the Engineering Mathematics modul...

Diagnosing student errors in e-Assessment questions (2015)
Journal Article
Henderson, K. L., Rhys Gwynllyw, D., Walker, P., Gwynllyw, R., & Henderson, K. (2015). Diagnosing student errors in e-Assessment questions. Teaching Mathematics and its Applications, 34(3), 160-170. https://doi.org/10.1093/teamat/hrv010

© The Author 2015. We demonstrate how the re-marker and reporter facility of the DEWIS e-Assessment system facilitates the capture, analysis and reporting of student errors using two case studies: logarithms and indices for first-year computing stude...

Limiting behaviour of particles in Taylor-Couette flow (2010)
Journal Article
Henderson, K., & Gwynllyw, R. (2010). Limiting behaviour of particles in Taylor-Couette flow. Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 67(1), 85-94. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10665-009-9321-z

Negatively buoyant inertial particles are tracked in a steady Taylor vortex background flow with gravity acting along the axis of the cylinders. Particles are found to either fall through the apparatus due to gravity or to be within retention zones.... Read More about Limiting behaviour of particles in Taylor-Couette flow.

Particle tracking in Taylor-Couette flow (2007)
Journal Article
Gwynllyw, D. R., Henderson, K., Gwynllyw, R., & Barenghi, C. F. (2007). Particle tracking in Taylor-Couette flow. European Journal of Mechanics - B/Fluids, 26(6), 738-748. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.euromechflu.2006.12.001

The paths of small inertial particles are computed in a steady Taylor vortex background flow. When buoyancy effects are neglected we find that particles denser than the background fluid tend to a limit orbit in the meridional plane. The difference in...

Transition from Ekman flow to Taylor vortex flow in superfluid helium (2004)
Journal Article
Barenghi, C. F., & Henderson, K. (2004). Transition from Ekman flow to Taylor vortex flow in superfluid helium. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 508(508), 319-331. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0022112004009206

By numerically computing the steady axisymmetric flow of helium II confined inside a finite-aspect-ratio Couette annulus, we determine the transition from Ekman flow to Taylor vortex flow as a function of temperature and aspect ratio. We find that th... Read More about Transition from Ekman flow to Taylor vortex flow in superfluid helium.

Implications of Holm's finite temperature corrections to the HVBK equations (2004)
Journal Article

The macroscopic equations used to model helium II are the Hall-Vinen-Bekharevich-Khalatnikov (HVBK) equations. Recently Holm suggested a finite-temperature adjustment to these equations, which effects the mutual friction parameters. In this paper we...

The stability of a superfluid rotating jet (2002)

We consider the linear stability of a cylindrical rotating jet of pure superfluid held together by surface tension. A necessary and sufficient condition for stability to axisymmetric disturbances is derived which corresponds to that of a classical in... Read More about The stability of a superfluid rotating jet.
