Gravity wave turbulence in a large flume (2013)
Book Chapter
Bedard, R., Nazarenko, S., & Lukaschuk, S. (2013). Gravity wave turbulence in a large flume. In Advances in Wave Turbulence (187 - 237). World Scientific

We overview past and new experimental results on gravity wave turbulence obtained at The Deep flume facility in Hull. The relatively large size of this flume, 12m × 6m × 1.5m, allows us to study the pure gravity waves without being concerned with mod... Read More about Gravity wave turbulence in a large flume.

Modelling of tar formation and evolution for biomass gasification: A review (2013)
Journal Article

Many by-products are generated during gasification, such as tar, NOx, SO2, and fly ash. In particular, tar elimination from the product gas is necessary to make gasification an attractive option. The presence of tar can cause operational problems to... Read More about Modelling of tar formation and evolution for biomass gasification: A review.

Dendrite growth and morphology evolution during solidification have been studied using a phase field model incorporating melt convection effects, which was solved using a robust and efficient parallel, multigrid computing approach. Single dendrite gr... Read More about Phase field simulation of binary alloy dendrite growth under thermal- and forced-flow fields: An implementation of the parallel-multigrid approach.

Model based evaluation of six energy integration schemes applied to a small-scale gasification process for power generation (2013)
Journal Article

This work considers the use of spent poultry litter as a fuel for on-site power generation. On-site use eliminates the need for the transportation of biomass to centralised plants and the associated bio-security issues. This work utilised process sim...

Model for biomass gasification including tar formation and evolution (2013)
Journal Article
Palma, C. F. (2013). Model for biomass gasification including tar formation and evolution. Energy and Fuels, 27(5), 2693-2702. https://doi.org/10.1021/ef4004297

Since tar elimination from the product gas is necessary to make gasification an attractive option, the presence of tar was included in a kinetic model. Lignin was assumed as the main precursor of tars due to its aromatic nature; therefore, the lignin... Read More about Model for biomass gasification including tar formation and evolution.
