Journal Article
Sellami, N., Dewar, M., Stahl, H., & Chen, B. (2015). Dynamics of rising CO2 bubble plumes in the QICS field experiment: Part 1 – The experiment. International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control, 38, 44-51. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijggc.2015.02.011

The dynamic characteristics of CO2 bubbles in Scottish seawater are investigated through observational data obtained from the QICS project. Images of the leaked CO2 bubble plume rising in the seawater were captured. This observation made it possible...

New efficient velocity-aware probabilistic route discovery schemes for high mobility Ad hoc networks (2015)
Journal Article
Bani Khalaf, M., Al-Dubai, A. Y., & Min, G. (2015). New efficient velocity-aware probabilistic route discovery schemes for high mobility Ad hoc networks. Journal of Computer and System Sciences, 81(1), 97-109. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcss.2014.06.014

Most existing route discovery schemes in MANETs are based on probabilistic models by which MANETs usually deploy broadcast mechanisms to discover routes between nodes. This is implemented by flooding the network with routing requests (RREQ) packets w...

Integrating intermodal transport with logistics: a case study of the UK retail sector (2015)
Journal Article
Monios, J. (2015). Integrating intermodal transport with logistics: a case study of the UK retail sector. Transportation Planning and Technology, 38(3), 347-374. https://doi.org/10.1080/03081060.2015.1008798

Retail traffic is one of the main drivers for the growth of intermodal transport services in the UK. The aim of this paper is to understand the key factors underpinning this modal shift in order to learn lessons for other market and geographical cont...

Retrofit of heat exchanger networks with pressure recovery of process streams at sub-ambient conditions (2015)
Journal Article
Onishi, V. C., Ravagnani, M. A., & Caballero, J. A. (2015). Retrofit of heat exchanger networks with pressure recovery of process streams at sub-ambient conditions. Energy Conversion and Management, 94, 377-393. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.2015.02.002

This paper presents a new mathematical programming model for the retrofit of heat exchanger networks (HENs), wherein the pressure recovery of process streams is conducted to enhance heat integration. Particularly applied to cryogenic processes, HENs... Read More about Retrofit of heat exchanger networks with pressure recovery of process streams at sub-ambient conditions.

NURBS based least-squares finite element methods for fluid and solid mechanics (2015)
Journal Article
Kadapa, C., Dettmer, W., & Perić, D. (2015). NURBS based least-squares finite element methods for fluid and solid mechanics. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, 101(7), 521-539. https://doi.org/10.1002/nme.4765

This contribution investigates the performance of a least-squares finite element method based on non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) basis functions. The least-squares functional is formulated directly in terms of the strong form of the governing... Read More about NURBS based least-squares finite element methods for fluid and solid mechanics.
