Modelling phase change in a 3D thermal transient analysis (2014)
Journal Article
Haque, E., & Hampson, P. (2014). Modelling phase change in a 3D thermal transient analysis. International Journal of Multiphysics, 8(1), 49-68. https://doi.org/10.1260/1750-9548.8.1.49

A 3D thermal transient analysis of a gap profiling technique which utilises phase change material (plasticine) is conducted in ANSYS. Phase change is modelled by assigning enthalpy of fusion over a wide temperature range based on Differential Scannin... Read More about Modelling phase change in a 3D thermal transient analysis.

Simulating acoustic scattering from atmospheric temperature fluctuations using a k-space method (2014)
Journal Article

This paper describes a numerical method for simulating far-field scattering from small regions of inhomogeneous temperature fluctuations. Such scattering is of interest since it is the mechanism by which acoustic wind velocity profiling devices (Dopp...
