Turbulent partially premixed combustion: DNS analysis and RANS simulation
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2013-03-12)
Increasingly stringent regulation of pollutant emission has motivated the search
for cleaner and more efficient combustion devices, which remain the primary
means of power generation and propulsion for all kinds of ...
Deformation mechanisms beneath shallow foundations
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Engineering, 2013-02-05)
Shallow foundations can provide the most economical solution for supporting small-scale structures. The design approach is quite simple considering the ultimate bearing capacity and working-load settlement. Research has ...
Microwave-assisted pyrolysis of HDPE using an activated carbon bed
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Chemical Engineering and Biotechnology, 2013-04-16)
Plastics play an enormous role in modern manufacturing, but the extraction and refining of raw materials, followed by the synthesis of plastics themselves, represents an enormous energy investment into a product that is ...
How do attitudes of habitual high-technology entrepreneurs to early-stage failure differ in Silicon Valley, Cambridge and Munich?
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringInstitute for Manufacturing, 2013-04-16)
Entrepreneurs develop new technology ventures in uncertain conditions with unproven technologies and limited resources. The majority of such ventures fail, yet entrepreneurship is regarded as a national (and regional) ...
Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Beams Strengthened with CFRP Straps
(American Society of Civil EngineersJournal of Composites for Construction, 2013-07-13)
Shear deficient reinforced concrete (RC) structures can be effectively strengthened using external prestressed carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) straps. Due to the presence of the external elastic straps, a strengthened ...
Designing a more nonlinearly stable laminar flow via boundary manipulation
(Cambridge University PressJournal of Fluid Mechanics, 2013-12-04)
We show how a fully nonlinear variational method can be used to design a more nonlinearly stable laminar shear flow by quantifying the effect of manipulating the boundary conditions of the flow. Using the example of plane ...
Magnetic relaxation, current sheets, and structure formation in an extremely tenuous fluid medium
(IOPScienceThe Astrophysical Journal, 2013-12-03)
The process of relaxation of a unidirectional magnetic field in a highly conducting tenuous fluid medium is considered. Null points of the field play a critical role in this process. During an initial stage of relaxation, ...
Chaos and Entropic Chaos in Kac's Model Without High Moments
(Institute of Mathematical StatisticsElectronic Journal of Probability, 2013-08-27)
In this paper we present a new local Lévy Central Limit Theorem, showing convergence to stable states that are not necessarily the Gaussian, and use it to find new and intuitive entropically chaotic families with underlying ...
AdS flowing black funnels: Stationary AdS black holes with non-Killing horizons and heat transport in the dual CFT
(Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2013-04-07)
Non-axisymmetric instability of rotating black holes in higher dimensions
(Physical Review D - Particles, Fields, Gravitation and Cosmology, 2013-08-26)
