Fluid structure behaviour in gas-oil two-phase flow in a moderately large diameter vertical pipe (2018)
Journal Article
Omar, R. A., Hewakandamby, B. N., Azzi, A., & Azzopardi, B. J. (2018). Fluid structure behaviour in gas-oil two-phase flow in a moderately large diameter vertical pipe. Chemical Engineering Science, 187, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ces.2018.04.075

Intermittent flows in vertical pipes occur in many industrial settings including power generation and downstream oil-and gas production. This type of flows include cap bubble, slug and churn flow regimes. These regimes are of interest as downstream p...

Cellulosic-crystals as a fumed-silica substitute in vacuum insulated panel technology used in building construction and retrofit applications (2017)
Journal Article
Tetlow, D., Simon, L. D., Liew, S. Y., Hewakandamby, B. N., Mack, D., Thielemans, W., & Riffat, S. (2017). Cellulosic-crystals as a fumed-silica substitute in vacuum insulated panel technology used in building construction and retrofit applications. Energy and Buildings, 156, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2017.08.058

This article investigates impact of substituting fumed silica with a cellulosic-crystal innovation in a commercial Vacuum Insulated Panel (VIP) core. High building performance demands have attracted VIP technology investment to increase production ca...

A study of droplet impact on static films using the BB-LIF technique (2016)
Journal Article
Hann, D. B., Cherdantsev, A. V., Mitchell, A., McCarthy, I., Hewakandamby, B. N., & Simmons, K. (2016). A study of droplet impact on static films using the BB-LIF technique. Experiments in Fluids, 57(46), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00348-016-2132-x

This paper presents results of single droplet impacts on films of different height taken using the Brightness Based Laser Induced Fluorescence technique (BB-LIF). The dynamics of drop impingement such as the shape of the cavity, residual film thickne... Read More about A study of droplet impact on static films using the BB-LIF technique.
