The pairwise interaction of coalescing air bubbles in water (2023)
Journal Article
Al-Behadili, M. A., Hargreaves, D. M., & Hewakandamby, B. N. (2023). The pairwise interaction of coalescing air bubbles in water. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 169, Article 104602. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2023.104602

There is a relative scarcity of experimental data relating to the interaction of a pair of millimetre-scale air bubbles rising having an offset configuration through stagnant water. To add to this dataset was the motivation behind this work. A series... Read More about The pairwise interaction of coalescing air bubbles in water.

2D Mesoscale cracking simulation of partially saturated asphalt based on moisture diffusion and a cohesive zone model (2023)
Journal Article
Li, L., Wu, J., Thom, N., Hargreaves, D., Airey, G., Zhu, J., …Zhang, Z. (2023). 2D Mesoscale cracking simulation of partially saturated asphalt based on moisture diffusion and a cohesive zone model. International Journal of Pavement Engineering, 24(1), Article 2242557. https://doi.org/10.1080/10298436.2023.2242557

The primary objective of this paper was to develop a combined model that incorporates moisture diffusion and a cohesive zone model, addressing anisotropic and loading-rate dependent cracking within partially saturated asphalt. Utilising X-ray CT scan... Read More about 2D Mesoscale cracking simulation of partially saturated asphalt based on moisture diffusion and a cohesive zone model.

Analysis and Prediction of Pothole Formation Rate Using Spatial Density Measurements and Pavement Condition Indicators (2023)
Journal Article
Abed, A., Rahman, M., Thom, N., Hargreaves, D., Li, L., & Airey, G. (2023). Analysis and Prediction of Pothole Formation Rate Using Spatial Density Measurements and Pavement Condition Indicators. Transportation Research Record, 2677(11), 651-664. https://doi.org/10.1177/03611981231166684

Potholes represent one of the dangerous distress types on roads. They form as a result of various factors, including water ingress, freeze–thaw, and pavement condition deterioration. In the UK, 1.7 million potholes were repaired in 2021; this critica...

Modelling of Droplet Capture in an Open-Cell Metal Foam at the Pore and Macroscopic Scales (2023)
Journal Article
de Carvalho, T. P., Hargreaves, D. M., Morvan, H. P., & Klingsporn, M. (2023). Modelling of Droplet Capture in an Open-Cell Metal Foam at the Pore and Macroscopic Scales. Transport in Porous Media, 148, 1-25. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11242-023-01918-4

Open-cell metal foams are often used in applications where particulate and/or droplet capture is important. Here a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling approach is described which models the metal foam at both the pore-scale and the macroscop...
