We investigate theoretically the impact of introducing convective dissolution along the interface of a (dense) miscible gravity current propagating up- and downdip along a permeability jump in a saturated, layered porous medium. Emphasis is placed on three different dissolution scenarios, namely...

To improve the confidence of subsurface storage of fluids such as carbon-dioxide, acid-gas and hydrogen at various geological sites, a proper fluid dynamic understanding of flow phenomena occurring because of injecting these source fluids into a porous medium is necessary. While many advancements...

Head impacts, both concussive and sub-concussive, are common in sports and can lead to adverse side effects. Since head kinematics are thought to correlate with brain injury, the implementation of protective headgear aimed to mitigate kinematics of the head during impacts. While fatal brain...

This work presents the results of an investigation into heat exchanger design for low temperature difference Stirling engines (LTDSEs). The aim of this study was to determine if there is an optimum heat exchanger geometry for producing maximum power output for a LTDSE. There are multiple factors...
