Abstract:

There is much interest in the use of liquid crystals for holographic displays or light steering in telecommunication systems. These applications require a much higher resolution than conventional displays and as a consequence the pixel size and the gaps between them shrink. The impact of the fringing fields is significant and the electric field in the inter-pixel gaps can become large enough to give rise to disclinations. There is a need for modelling of these effects not only from the point of view of device optimisation but also to find ways to use them to our advantage. For instance, defect

Abstract:

Air pollution modelling is one of the key tools for researchers, scientists, and urban planners to support the sustainable development of the urban environment. This modelling tool is critical for the users in the age of rapid urbanization to understand pollution distribution in the modelling area. Recent updates in air quality regulations are challenging the state-of-the-art air pollution modelling techniques by requiring accurate predictions on a high temporal level, i.e. predictions at the hourly level rather than the annual level. Current state-of-the-art models are designed to have good p

Abstract:

Vegetation is a common feature within natural river channels and exerts a profound influence on the functioning of the fluvial system. In particular, the interaction between vegetation and flow causes a reduction in conveyance, an alteration to the velocity profile and the generation of coherent turbulent structures which differ to those found in un-vegetated channels. Recognition of the influence of vegetation on open channel flow has led to an increased awareness of the importance of accurately representing the effects of vegetation within numerical models, across a range of spatial scales.

Hourly winter weather conditions of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) are simulated using the Community Climate Model version 3 (CCM3) on a globally resolved T170 (~75 km) grid.

The purpose of the study is to determine: (1) whether examination of higher-resolution simulations, on both spatial and temporal scales, can enhance paleometeorological inferences based previously on monthly statistics of model output and (2) whether certain synoptic-scale events, which may have only a modest impact on sea

This thesis concerns the numerical investigation of suddenly expanded flows featuring separation, instabilities and transition, in the context of Implicit Large Eddy Simulation (ILES). The study of separated flows through suddenly expanded geometries is a classic yet complex area of research. These types of flows feature instabilities which may lead to bifurcation. Non-linear bifurcation is of great importance when considering hydrodynamic stability and the mechanism of laminar to turbulent flow transition.

Abstract:

In this study an alternative has been taken, by applying an atmospheric transport model. Due to assumptions in the treatment of vertical dispersion, many current UK models are unable to describe the short-range dispersion of ammonia adequately, so a new statistical model has been created by extensively modifying an existing Lagrangian trajectory model. A number of atmospheric processes have been parameterised for inclusion in the model, and boundary data have been constructed to allow the inclusion of continental emissions. The wind speed data used to advect the model have been optimised for N

Moreover, the working fluid flowing through the heat exchanger cause a temperature gradient across the module such that a cell near the inlet and a cell near the outlet may have significant temperature differences.

Abstract:

Multi-resolution modelling differs from standard modelling in that it employs multiple abstractions of a system rather than just one. In describing the system at several degrees of resolution, it is possible to cover a broad range of system behaviours with variable precision. Typically, model resolution is chosen by the modeller, however the choice of resolution for a given objective is not always intuitive. A multi-resolution model provides the ability to select optimal resolution for a given objective. This has beneﬁts in a number of engineering disciplines, particularly in autonomous system

It is widely known that wind and wave predictions in the nearshore are less precise for semi enclosed domains than in the open ocean. The Catalan coast is a clear example of this situation, with a wave climate controlled by short fetches, complex bathymetry, high wind field variability in time and space, and sea and swell waves combined that generate bimodal spectra. These characteristics, typical for a semi-enclosed basin, limit the reliability of wave predictions in the area, with errors on the significant wave height around 10% and a clear under-prediction of the wave period with errors aro

Kinetochores are multi-protein machines that control chromosome movements by regulating the dynamics of attached microtubules. In human cells chromosome movements are orchestrated by the leading kinetochore tracking a shrinking microtubule whilst its sister tracks a growing microtubule. Directional switches occur when (both) kinetochore-attached microtubules fl ip between these two states, adaptive and coordinated switching then giving rise to the oscillations observed during metaphase. However the mechanisms (and rules) controlling directional switching are poorly understood. This work demons

Sizes and masses (thus density) are now available for about 1,000 exoplanets, but are insufficient to get the full picture.

Abstract:

The connection of high penetrations of new low carbon technologies such as PV and electric vehicles onto the distribution network is expected to cause power quality problems and the thermal capacity of feeder cables may be exceeded. Replacement of existing infrastructure is costly and so feeder cables are likely to be operated close to their hosting capacity. Network operators therefore require accurate simulation models so that new connection requests are not unnecessarily constrained. This work has reviewed recent studies and found a wide range of assumptions and approximations that are used

Abstract:

Precision Agriculture (PA) strives towards holistic production and environmental management. A fundamental research challenge is the continuous expansion of ideas about how PA can contribute to sustainable agriculture. Some associated pragmatic research challenges include quantification of spatio-temporal variation of crop yield; crop growth simulation modelling within a PA context and; evaluating long-term financial and environmental outcomes from site-specific crop management (SSCM). In Chapter 1 literature about managing whole farms with a mind towards sustainability was reviewed. Alternati

Abstract:

The Earth’s atmosphere consists of both gaseous and condensed-phase components, the condensed-phase material is called particulate matter (PM). The effects of atmospheric PM include adverse health impacts, as well as climate forcing. Both qualitative and quantitative knowledge about PM is necessary to assess these effects, and to devise best mitigation strategies. Understanding the distribution of atmospheric particulate matter is complex because much of it is of secondary origin rather than from primary emissions. Furthermore, there are multiple anthropogenic and natural sources of the contri

Abstract:

The contribution of this thesis is twofold: 1) the development of a hydrodynamic landscape evolution model for use on high-performance computing systems and 2) assessing the sensitivity of hydrogeomorphic processes to high-resolution rainfall input data and erosional parameterisation using the model. The thesis addresses a limitation in numerical landscape evolution models regarding how spatial variation in rainfall is represented or parameterised within such models. Typically, landscape evolution models forsake a realistic representation of rainfall patterns in favour of a simpler treatment o
