Journal Article
MIAN, H.H., SIDDIQUI, M.S., YANG, L., KVAMSDAL, T. and ASIM, T. 2023. Numerical investigation of blade roughness impact on the aerodynamic performance and wake behavior of horizontal axis wind turbine. Journal of physics: conference series [online], 2626: proceedings from the 2023 EERA (European Energy Research Alliance) DeepWind conference, 18-20 January 2023, Trondheim, Norway, article 012073. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/2626/1/012073

The prolonged operation of wind turbines in harsh offshore environments leads to deterioration and roughness accumulation on the blade surface. This roughness, particularly on the leading edge and other surfaces, can affect the laminar-to-turbulent t...

In order to improve the combustion characteristics of municipal waste materials and reduce excess pollutants generated during the incineration process, this study develops a novel waste incinerator with an α-shaped flue gas route. This has been achie... Read More about Design of a novel α-shaped flue gas route flame incinerator for the treatment of municipal waste materials..

Hydrodynamic characterisation of fire sprinkler system of a passenger railroad car. (2023)
Journal Article
CRAIG, M., YOUNAS, M. and ASIM, T. 2023. Hydrodynamic characterisation of fire sprinkler system of a passenger railroad car. International journal of condition monitoring and diagnostic engineering management (COMADEM) [online], 26(3), pages 15-23. Available from: https://apscience.org/comadem/index.php/comadem/article/view/403

Fire safety is one of the major concerns in the public transport and thus passenger trains in the UK seek continuous improvement in passenger safety and comfort. In order to combat fire, there is a legal requirement in most countries across the globa... Read More about Hydrodynamic characterisation of fire sprinkler system of a passenger railroad car..

Stability of viscous lubricated thin film down an inclined plane beneath ambient lighter non miscible static liquid. (2023)
Journal Article
MASKONI, A., LATRACHE, N., KHOSHKONESH, A., ASIM, T., POLIDORI, G., MISHRA, R. and NSOM, B. 2023. Stability of viscous lubricated thin film down an inclined plane beneath ambient lighter non miscible static liquid.

Available from: https://apscience.org/comadem/index.php/comadem/article/view/353

This paper considers the stability of a thin film propagating beneath a large quantity of ambient static non miscible lighter liquid and over a sloping plane. Such configuration that has never been considered earlier can model the spill of a heavy hy...

Coupled geomechanics and transient multiphase flow at fracture-matrix interface in tight reservoirs. (2023)
Thesis
KUKHA HAWEZ, H.R. 2023. Coupled geomechanics and transient multiphase flow at fracture-matrix interface in tight reservoirs. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1987869

Fractured hydrocarbon reservoirs play a significant role in the world economy and energy markets. Fluid injection (normally water) forces the hydrocarbons out of the reservoirs. Geomechanics, externally applied stress on the rock, play a significant... Read More about Coupled geomechanics and transient multiphase flow at fracture-matrix interface in tight reservoirs..
