Estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from spontaneous combustion/fire of coal in opencast mines – Indian context (2016)
Journal Article
Mohalik, N., Lester, E., Lowndes, I., & Singh, V. (in press). Estimation of greenhouse gas emissions from spontaneous combustion/fire of coal in opencast mines – Indian context. Carbon Management, 7(5-6), https://doi.org/10.1080/17583004.2016.1249216

There are a significant number of uncontrolled coal mine fires (primarily due to spontaneous combustion of coal), which are currently burning all over the world. These spontaneous combustion sources emit greenhouse gases (GHGs). A critical review rev...

Review of experimental methods to determine spontaneous combustion susceptibility of coal – Indian context (2016)
Journal Article
Mohalik, N., Lester, E., & Lowndes, I. (in press). Review of experimental methods to determine spontaneous combustion susceptibility of coal – Indian context. International Journal of Mining, Reclamation and Environment, 31(5), https://doi.org/10.1080/17480930.2016.1232334

This paper presents a critical review of the different techniques developed to investigate the susceptibility of coal to spontaneous combustion and fire. These methods may be sub-classified into the two following areas: (1) Basic coal characterisatio...

Numerical modeling of oscillating Taylor bubbles (2016)
Journal Article
Ambrose, S., Hargreaves, D. M., & Lowndes, I. (2016). Numerical modeling of oscillating Taylor bubbles. Engineering Applications of Computational Fluid Mechanics, 10(1), 578-598. https://doi.org/10.1080/19942060.2016.1224737

© 2016 The Author(s). In this study, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling is used to simulate Taylor bubbles rising in vertical pipes. Experiments indicate that in large diameter (0.29 m) pipes for an air-water system, the bubbles can rise in... Read More about Numerical modeling of oscillating Taylor bubbles.

Experimental study of the hydrodynamic behaviour of slug flow in a horizontal pipe (2016)
Journal Article
Abdulkadir, M., Hernandez-Perez, V., Lowndes, I., Azzopardi, B., & Sam-Mbomah, E. (2016). Experimental study of the hydrodynamic behaviour of slug flow in a horizontal pipe. Chemical Engineering Science, 156, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ces.2016.09.015

This paper investigates the unsteady hydrodynamic behaviour of slug flow occurring within an air–silicone oil mixture, within a horizontal 67 mm internal diameter pipe. A series of slug flow regime experiments were performed for a range of injected a... Read More about Experimental study of the hydrodynamic behaviour of slug flow in a horizontal pipe.
