Journal Article
Wong, V.-L., Loizou, K., Lau, P.-L., Graham, R. S., & Hewkandamby, B. N. (2019). Characterising droplet breakup rates of shear-thinning dispersed phase in microreactors. Chemical Engineering Research and Design, 144, 370-385. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cherd.2019.02.024

A two-phase flow predictive model with the integration of conservative level-set method (LSM) and Carreau-Yasuda constitutive equation was developed herein. The LSM was chosen as a potential interface capturing scheme for elucidating the interfacial...

Understanding flow-induced crystallisation in polymers: a perspective on the role of molecular simulations (2019)
Journal Article
Graham, R. S. (2019). Understanding flow-induced crystallisation in polymers: a perspective on the role of molecular simulations. Journal of Rheology, 63(1), 203-214. https://doi.org/10.1122/1.5056170

Flow induced crystallisation in polymers is an important problem in both fundamental polymer science and industrial polymer processing. The key process of flow-induced nucleation occurs on a very rapid timescale and on a highly localised lengthscale...
