Journal Article
Jackson, S., Power, H., Giddings, D., & Stevens, D. (2017). The stability of immiscible viscous fingering in Hele-Shaw cells with spatially varying permeability. Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, 320, 606-632. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cma.2017.03.030

In this paper, we investigate the stability of immiscible viscous fingering in Hele-Shaw cells with spatially varying permeability, across a range of capillary numbers. We utilise a coupled boundary element - radial basis function (BE –RBF) numerical...

Overcoming the caking phenomenon in olive mill wastes (2017)
Journal Article
Williams, O., Eastwick, C., Kingman, S., Giddings, D., Lormor, S., & Lester, E. (2017). Overcoming the caking phenomenon in olive mill wastes. Industrial Crops and Products, 101, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.indcrop.2017.02.036

The use of olive mill wastes (orujillo) within coal fired power stations in the UK has led to unexpected difficulties with material caking within the fuel handling plant. This study replicated orujillo caking on a laboratory scale using a planetary b... Read More about Overcoming the caking phenomenon in olive mill wastes.

An adaptive RBF finite collocation approach to track transport processes across moving fronts (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. We develop a radial basis function finite collocation method (RBF-FC) that utilises an adaptive quadtree dataset to cluster nodes around critical features in the domain, for the solution of transport processes occurring in moving...

Numerical analysis of particle flows within a double expansion (2014)
Journal Article
Love, A., Giddings, D., & Power, H. (2014). Numerical analysis of particle flows within a double expansion. Powder Technology, 266, 22-37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.powtec.2014.05.057

The effect of solid particles within flows having zones of recirculation is of interest in pulverised fuel distribution and combustion at burners. Previous modelling of a 1/4 scale test rig was performed by Giddings et al. (2004), and an instability... Read More about Numerical analysis of particle flows within a double expansion.
