Offshore wind resource assessment based on scarce spatio-temporal measurements using matrix factorization (2022)
Journal Article

In the pre-construction of wind farms, wind resource assessment is of paramount importance. Measurements by lidars are a source of high-fidelity data. However, they are expensive and sparse in space and time. Contrarily, Weather Research and Forecast...

4-dimensional local radial basis function interpolation of large, uniformly spaced datasets (2022)
Journal Article

Background and Objective: Large, uniformly spaced, complex and time varying datasets derived from high resolution medical image velocimetry can provide a wealth of information regarding small-scale transient physiological flow phenomena and pulsation... Read More about 4-dimensional local radial basis function interpolation of large, uniformly spaced datasets.

CFD Approach to the Influence of Particle Size on Erosive Wear in Coal Riser Pipes (2022)
Journal Article

Pneumatic conveying of finely pulverised coal particles is an important process in the steelmaking industry, used to transport coal to the blast furnace. Erosive wear caused by high velocity particles impacting on the inner wall surfaces of pneumatic...

A hybrid solution for offshore wind resource assessment from limited onshore measurements (2021)
Journal Article

In wind resource assessments, which are critical to the pre-construction of wind farms, measurements by LiDARs or masts are a source of high-fidelity data, but are expensive and scarce in space and time, particularly for offshore sites. On the other... Read More about A hybrid solution for offshore wind resource assessment from limited onshore measurements.
