Use of machine learning to optimise turbulence modelling
Industry relies heavily on turbulence models to make numerical predictions sufficiently affordable. However, in many situations the lack of predictive accuracy of the underlying models limits the impact that computational methods can have on technology development. In this project, a novel machine learning approach will be applied to translate the physics contained in data into tangible turbulence models with improved accuracy. …

A comparative study of engine performance and pollutant formation during diesel and dimethyl ether injection
Compression ignition engines are likely to remain a dominant prime mover for the foreseeable future, particularly in heavy duty road transport, sea transport and power generation. Dimethyl ether (DME) is one proposed zero emission fuel for compression ignition engines that can be made using renewable energy. DME also possesses several properties that makes it superior to diesel in terms of …
