Development of practical approaches to predicting flow-induced sound from termination devices in large-scale railway tunnel ventilation systems (2024)
Report

Railway tunnel ventilation systems present particular problems for predictions of sound emissions, including the relatively high volumetric flow rates, and a lack of well-established models and empirical data. An investigation was undertaken to suppo...

Quantifying the Social Value of the UK Construction Industry (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Since the introduction of the Social Value Act in 2012, a focus on time, cost, and quality is no longer sufficient to guarantee procurement success. However, to only communicate social value achievements as part of tender submissions may be viewed su... Read More about Quantifying the Social Value of the UK Construction Industry.

CFD Modelling of Combustion and NOX Production in a Propulsion Duct with Aspect Ratio Effects (2024)
Book Chapter

Combustion simulation is fundamental to numerous propulsion systems including gas turbine engines, chemical rocket propulsion etc. It is a complex area involving viscous fluid dynamics, heat transfer, combustion chemistry and flame dynamics. In the p... Read More about CFD Modelling of Combustion and NOX Production in a Propulsion Duct with Aspect Ratio Effects.

Authenticity and Negativism. Social Value in UK Construction (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Social value engagement in UK construction procurement provides contractors with a competitive edge. Arguably this serves to force contractor social value action. Whilst this is seemingly of benefit to the social value agenda and wider societal needs... Read More about Authenticity and Negativism. Social Value in UK Construction.

A Comprehensive Review of Most Competitive Maximum Power Point Tracking Techniques for Enhanced Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation (2024)
Journal Article

A major design challenge for a grid-integrated photovoltaic power plant is to generate maximum power under varying loads, irradiance, and outdoor climatic conditions using competitive algorithm-based controllers. The objective of this study is to rev... Read More about A Comprehensive Review of Most Competitive Maximum Power Point Tracking Techniques for Enhanced Solar Photovoltaic Power Generation.

Assessing Building Performance in A Low Carbon Home: A comparative study of the energy modelling representing design and as-built phase (2024)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Buildings, as the second-largest carbon emitter, play a significant role in decarbonising efforts to achieve net zero in the UK. The proposed Future Homes Standard aims to ensure a 75-80% reduction in carbon emissions by increasing the building energ...
