In-situ characterisation of structure borne noise from a building mounted wind turbine (2010)
Presentation / Conference
building mounted wind turbine. Presented at ISMA 2010, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium

Building mounted micro wind turbines (BMWTs) could potentially provide a useful contribution to renewable energy production but a means of predicting structure-borne sound and vibration is required. A particular difficulty is that BMWTs can only be... Read More about In-situ characterisation of structure borne noise from a building mounted wind turbine.

Coupling of a time domain boundary element method to compliant surface models (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Hargreaves, J., & Cox, T. (2010, September). Coupling of a time domain boundary element method to compliant surface models. Presented at EAA Euroregio Conference, Ljubljana

The Boundary Element Method (BEM) can be used to predict the scattering of sound in rooms. It reduces the problem of modelling the volume of air to one involving only the surfaces; hence the number of unknowns scales more favourably with problem size...

Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics (2010)
Presentation / Conference
Mcdonald, G., Christian, J., & Hodgkinson, T. (2010, September). Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics. Presented at 5th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics & Lasers, CAOL 2010, Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine

The slowly varying envelope approximation and the ensuing Galilean boost to a local time frame are near-universal features of conventional scalar pulse models. Here, we will give an overview of our recent progress with a new approach to nonlinear pul... Read More about Optical soliton pulses with relativistic characteristics.

Refraction of grey solitons at defocusing Kerr interfaces (2010)
Presentation / Conference
