Fluctuating fluid flow and heat transfer of an obliquely impinging air jet
(2008)Heat transfer to an obliquely impinging air jet is investigated experimentally. Distributions of the mean and the fluctuating component of the surface heat transfer are reported for a jet Reynolds number of 10,000, nozzle ... -
Forced convection in the wakes of sliding bubbles
(2016)Both vapour and gas bubbles are known to significantly increase heat transfer rates between a heated surface and the surrounding fluid, even with no phase change. However, the complex wake structures means that the surface ... -
Foreword: Special Section on Data Center Cooling
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017)Data centers account for a significant and growing fraction of the worldwide electricity demand, rising by an average of 11% per year from 2000 to a consumption of 27.1 GW in 2010, representing 1.3% of the total worldwide ... -
The fracture toughness of eggshell
(2016) -
Fracture toughness of locust cuticle

The fracture toughness of soft tissues
(2012)Fracture toughness is important for any material, but to date there have been few investigations of this mechanical property in soft mammalian tissues. This paper presents new data on porcine muscle tissue and a detailed ... -
A Front Tracking Model for Transient Solidification of Al-7wt%Si in a Bridgman Furnace
(2012)The Bridgman furnace is widely used in industry and research. This paper outlines a working onedimensional model for tracking the columnar solidification front in a Bridgman furnace where the pulling velocity, and hence ... -
Functional Properties of Cartilaginous Tissues Engineered From Infrapatellar Fat Pad Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells.
(2010)Articular cartilage has a poor intrinsic capacity for self-repair. The advent of autologous chondrocyte implantation has provided a feasible method to treat cartilage defects. However, the associated drawbacks with the ... -
Further Experiences in CDIO Implentation
(2008)The CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement and Operate) philosophy has become an increasingly influential engineering educatio n paradigm championed by a range of leading engineering educational institutes worldwide. A ... -
A general correlation for the stagnation point Nusselt number of an axisymmetric impinging synthetic jet
(2011)Whereas the heat transfer mechanisms in steady impinging jets are well understood, the available knowledge of heat transfer to impinging synthetic jets remains inconsistent. This paper provides an objective comparison of ... -
General Reduced-Order Model to Design and Operate Synthetic Jet Actuators
(2012)Synthetic jets are used in various applicat ions from flow contro l to thermal management of electronics. Controlling the jet operating point using a simple voltage to velocity calibration becomes unreliable in case ... -
Genomic identification, expression profiling, and functional characterization of CatSper channels in the bovine
(2017)Cation channels of sperm (CatSper) are sperm-specific calcium channels with identified roles in the regulation of sperm function in humans, mice, and horses. We sought to employ a comparative genomics approach to identify ... -
Glyoxal cross-linking of solubilized extracellular matrix to produce highly porous, elastic, and chondro-permissive scaffolds for orthopedic tissue engineering
(2019)Extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived implants hold great promise for tissue repair, but new strategies are required to produce efficiently decellularized scaffolds with the necessary porosity and mechanical properties to ... -
A graph-theory approach to optimisation of an acoustic absorber targeting a specific noise spectrum that approaches the causal optimum minimum depth
(2021)Equivalent circuit analysis is a powerful tool for analysing acoustic systems where a lumped element model is valid. These equivalent circuits allow an overall impedance of the structure to be estimated which facilitates ...
