Mixing and internal dynamics of droplets impacting and coalescing on a solid surface
(American Physical SocietyPhysical Review E, 2013-08-26)
The coalescence and mixing of a sessile and an impacting liquid droplet on a solid surface are studied experimentally and numerically in terms of lateral separation and droplet speed. Two droplet generators are used to ...
Precracked RC T-beams Repaired in Shear with Prestressed CFRP Straps
(American Concrete InstituteACI Structural Journal, 2013-09-01)
The results of an experimental and numerical investigation involving unstrengthened reinforced concrete (RC) T-beams and precracked RC T-beams strengthened in shear with prestressed carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ...
Jets, mixing, and topography in the Southern Ocean
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical PhysicsClare College, 2013-11-12)
The Southern Ocean holds a unique place in our planet. It is home to the world’s longest and strongest ocean current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (or ACC), which is formed of jets (alternating velocity structures), ...
Elastocapillarity: adhesion and large deformations of thin sheets
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2013-09-03)
This thesis is concerned with the deformation and adhesion of thin elastic sheets that come into contact with an underlying substrate. The focus of this work is on the interplay between material and geometric properties ...
Modeling and numerics for two partial differential equation systems arising from nanoscale physics
(University of CambridgeDepartment of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, 2013-04-30)
This thesis focuses on the mathematical analysis of two partial differential equation systems. Consistent improvement of mathematical computation allows more and more questions to be addressed in the form of numerical ...
An experimental and theoretical study of the dynamics of grounding lines
(Cambridge University Press, 2013-07-01)
We present an experimental and theoretical study of a thin, viscous fluid layer that flows radially under gravity from a point source into a denser inviscid fluid layer of uniform depth above a rigid horizontal surface. ...
Rotating black droplet

GREEN IPTV: a resource and energy efficient network for IPTV
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and TechnologyComputer LaboratoryDepartment of Engineering, 2013-01-08)
The distribution of television is currently dominated by three technologies: over-the-air broadcast, cable, and satellite. The advent of IP networks and the increased availability of broadband access created a new vehicle ...
Privacy engineering for social networks
(University of CambridgeFaculty of Computer Science and TechnologyComputer Laboratory, 2013-01-08)
In this dissertation, I enumerate several privacy problems in online social networks (OSNs) and describe a system called Footlights that addresses them. Footlights is a platform for distributed social applications that ...
Modelling of friction stir spot welding
(University of CambridgeDepartment of EngineeringSidney Sussex CollegeTrinity Hall, 2013-07-09)
Friction stir spot welding (FSSW) is a solid-state welding process which is especially useful for joining precipitation-hardened aluminium alloys that undergo adverse property changes during fusion welding. It also has ...
