A computational study of particulate emissions from Old Moor Quarry, UK (2017)
Journal Article
Joseph, G., Lowndes, I., & Hargreaves, D. (2018). A computational study of particulate emissions from Old Moor Quarry, UK. Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 172, 68-84. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jweia.2017.10.018

This paper presents an evaluation of a buoyancy-modified k--e dust dispersion model for predicting fugitive dust deposition from a surface quarry. The dust clouds are modelled as volumetric emissions and their dispersion simulated by coupling the flo... Read More about A computational study of particulate emissions from Old Moor Quarry, UK.

Development of a petrographic technique to assess the spontaneous combustion susceptibility of Indian coals (2017)
Journal Article
Mohalik, N., Lester, E., & Lowndes, I. (in press). Development of a petrographic technique to assess the spontaneous combustion susceptibility of Indian coals. International Journal of Coal Preparation and Utilization, https://doi.org/10.1080/19392699.2017.1360874

Petrographic studies are commonly used categorise the potential utilisation of coals. Eleven coal samples from the jharia coalfield (JCF), india, were studied using petrographic techniques to investigate maceral content, reflectance, and textural cha...

Applications of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method for performance prediction of the effect of a vertical 90° bend on an air-silicone oil flow (2017)
Journal Article
Ayegba, P., Abdulkadir, M., Hernandez-Perez, V., Lowndes, I., & Azzopardi, B. J. (in press). Applications of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) method for performance prediction of the effect of a vertical 90° bend on an air-silicone oil flow. Journal of the Taiwan Institute of Chemical Engineers, 74, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtice.2017.02.005

Knowledge of how the presence of a bend can change the flow patterns of a gas–liquid mixture is important for the design of multiphase flow systems, particularly to prevent burn-out and erosion–corrosion. Burn-out and erosion–corrosion both have seri...

Numerical modelling of the rise of Taylor bubbles through a change in pipe diameter (2017)
Journal Article
Ambrose, S., Lowndes, I. S., Hargreaves, D., & Azzopardi, B. (2017). Numerical modelling of the rise of Taylor bubbles through a change in pipe diameter. Computers and Fluids, 148, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.compfluid.2017.01.023

The rise of Taylor bubbles through expansions in vertical pipes is modelled using Computational Fluid Dynamics. The predictions from the models are compared against existing experimental work and show good agreement, both quantitatively and qualitati...
