Influence of light and temperature cycles on the expression of circadian clock genes in the mussel Mytilus edulis (2020)
Journal Article
Chapman, E., Bonsor, B., Parsons, D. R., & Rotchell, J. (2020). Influence of light and temperature cycles on the expression of circadian clock genes in the mussel Mytilus edulis. Marine environmental research, 159, Article 104960. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.marenvres.2020.104960

Clock genes and environmental cues regulate essential biological rhythms. The blue mussel, Mytilus edulis, is an ecologically and economically important intertidal bivalve undergoing seasonal reproductive rhythms. We previously identified seasonal...

Life cycle environmental analysis of 'drop in' alternative aviation fuels: A review (2020)
Journal Article
Kolosz, B. W., Luo, Y., Xu, B., Maroto-Valer, M. M., & Andresen, J. M. (2020). Life cycle environmental analysis of 'drop in' alternative aviation fuels: A review. Sustainable Energy & Fuels, 4(7), 3229-3263. https://doi.org/10.1039/c9se00788a

Alternative aviation fuels possess significant potential to reduce the environmental burdens of the aviation industry. This review critically explores the application of the Life Cycle Assessment Methodology to the assessment of alternative aviation...

Transient and non-uniform heat flux effect on solar thermoelectric generator with phase change material (2020)
Journal Article
Shittu, S., Li, G., Xuan, Q., Xiao, X., Zhao, X., Ma, X., & Akhlaghi, Y. G. (2020). Transient and non-uniform heat flux effect on solar thermoelectric generator with phase change material. Applied thermal engineering, 173, Article 115206. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applthermaleng.2020.115206

Transient and non-uniform heat flux from solar concentrators can affect the performance of solar thermoelectric generators, which generate electricity from concentrated solar radiation. Therefore, this paper presents a detailed three-dimensional stud... Read More about Transient and non-uniform heat flux effect on solar thermoelectric generator with phase change material.

Emerging citizen contributions, roles and interactions with public authorities in Dutch pluvial flood risk management (2020)
Journal Article
Forrest, S. A., Trell, E.-M., & Woltjer, J. (2021). Emerging citizen contributions, roles and interactions with public authorities in Dutch pluvial flood risk management. International Journal of Water Resources Development, 37(1), 1-23. https://doi.org/10.1080/07900627.2019.1701999

This article focuses on the emerging role of citizens and their increasing contributions to local pluvial flood risk management in the Netherlands. A qualitative research approach is followed with semi-structured interviews, and analysis of policy do...

Wind turbine asymmetrical load reduction with pitch sensor fault compensation (2020)
Journal Article
Liu, Y., Patton, R. J., & Shi, S. (2020). Wind turbine asymmetrical load reduction with pitch sensor fault compensation. Wind energy, 23(7), 1523-1541. https://doi.org/10.1002/we.2496

Offshore wind turbines suffer from asymmetrical loading (blades, tower, etc), leading to enhanced structural fatigue. As well as asymmetrical loading different faults (pitch system faults etc.) can occur simultaneously, causing degradation of load mi...

Numerical errors at walls: on the sensitivity of RANS models to near-wall cell size (2020)
Journal Article
Lloyd, C. J., Peakall, J., Burns, A. D., Keevil, G. M., & Dorrell, R. M. (in press). Numerical errors at walls: on the sensitivity of RANS models to near-wall cell size. International Journal of Computational Fluid Dynamics, 34(3), 204-225. https://doi.org/10.1080/10618562.2020.1732941

The sensitivity of a large range of turbulence closures to the near-wall grid resolution is assessed through analytical and numerical techniques. We determine model boundedness, limiting behaviour, and solution dependence of channel flow simulations...
