Journal Article
Brew, A., O'Beirne, S., Johnson, M. J., Ramsenthaler, C., Watson, P., Rubini, P. A., Fagan, M. J., Swan, F., & Simpson, A. (online). Airflow rates and breathlessness recovery from submaximal exercise in healthy adults: prospective, randomised, cross-over study. BMJ supportive & palliative care, https://doi.org/10.1136/spcare-2023-004309

Objectives: Facial airflow from a hand-held fan may reduce breathlessness severity and hasten postexertion recovery. Data from randomised controlled trials are limited and the optimal airflow speed remains unknown. We aimed to determine the effect of...

A porous media model for the numerical simulation of acoustic attenuation by perforated liners in the presence of grazing flows (2021)
Journal Article
Wang, J., Rubini, P., & Qin, Q. (2021). A porous media model for the numerical simulation of acoustic attenuation by perforated liners in the presence of grazing flows. Applied Sciences, 11(10), Article 4677. https://doi.org/10.3390/app11104677

In this paper, a novel model is proposed for the numerical simulation of noise-attenuating perforated liners. Effusion cooling liners offer the potential of being able to attenuate combustion instabilities in gas turbine engines. However, the acousti...
