A reduced-order model for advection-dominated problems based on the Radon Cumulative Distribution Transform (2025)
Journal Article
Long, T., Barnett, R., Jefferson-Loveday, R., Stabile, G., & Icardi, M. (2025). A reduced-order model for advection-dominated problems based on the Radon Cumulative Distribution Transform. Advances in Computational Mathematics, 51(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10444-024-10209-5

Problems with dominant advection, discontinuities, travelling features, or shape variations are widespread in computational mechanics. However, classical linear model reduction and interpolation methods typically fail to reproduce even relatively sma...

MPeat2D - a fully coupled mechanical-ecohydrological model of peatland development in two dimensions (2024)
Journal Article
Mahdiyasa, A. W., Large, D. J., Icardi, M., & Muljadi, B. P. (2024). MPeat2D - a fully coupled mechanical-ecohydrological model of peatland development in two dimensions. Earth Surface Dynamics, 12(4), 929-952. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-12-929-2024

Higher-dimensional models of peatland development are required to analyse the influence of spatial heterogeneity and complex feedback mechanisms on peatland behaviour. However, the current models exclude the mechanical process that leads to uncertain...

Numerical investigation of bubble dynamics and flow boiling heat transfer in cylindrical micro-pin-fin heat exchangers. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 228, Article 125620. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2024.125620

Micro-pin-fin evaporators are a promising alternative to multi-microchannel heat sinks for two-phase cooling of high power-density devices. Within pin-fin evaporators, the refrigerant flows through arrays of obstacles in cross-flow and is not restric...

The dynamics of two-phase flows confined within complex and non-straight geometries is of interest for a variety of applications such as micro-pin fin evaporators and flow in unsaturated porous media. Despite the propagation of bubbles in straight ch... Read More about Dynamics of long bubbles propagating through cylindrical micro-pin fin arrays.

Modelling the influence of mechanical-ecohydrological feedback on the nonlinear dynamics of peatlands (2023)
Journal Article

Peatlands are complex systems that exhibit nonlinear dynamics due to internal and external feedback mechanisms. However, the feedback of vegetation on peat volume changes that potentially affect peatland dynamics is not well understood. Here, we anal...

Mathematical models of long-term peatland development have been produced to analyse peatland behaviour. However, existing models ignore the mechanical processes that have the potential to provide important feedback. Here, we propose a one-dimensional...
