Current Funded Research Projects
Data-Driven Surrogate Modelling for Liquid Ammonia Direct Injection Spray CharacteristicsFunding source: Royal SocietyStart: 31-03-2024 / End: 28-02-2027 Amount: £225,000 In this project, we are proposing a direct research and partnership building between QMUL with Kyushu University with the aim of developing data-efficient ML models for the prediction of liquid ammonia DI spray characteristics to tackle the computational and experimental costs and time. |
Hydrogen Heavy-duty Engine-out NOx Emissions Modelling and Prediction using a Deep Learning FrameworkFunding source: Royal SocietyStart: 31-03-2023 / End: 30-03-2025 Amount: £6,000 In this project, a physics-based deep learning (DL) framework will be developed to predict and analyse trends in transient hydrogen engine-out NOx emissions using data from 0D- 1D engine simulations. |
UKRI FLF Development Network Pathway programmeFunding source: UK Research and InnovationStart: 01-04-2023 / End: 31-12-2024 This is a tailored programme to support the professional development of future leaders fellows. The network delivers specialised leadership training, access to networks and mentors, and collaborative opportunities, so that members can pursue world-class interdisciplinary, cross-sector research and innovation. |
Spray cooling of electric traction motors with hairpin windings: An experimental and CFD analysisFunding source: Royal SocietyStart: 01-07-2023 / End: 30-06-2024 Amount: £58,087 The project aims to investigate the performance of advanced oil spray cooling of hairpin end-windings by developing a test bench that will shed light on the ongoing detailed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. |
Previous Funded Research Projects
Optimal fuel blends for ammonia fuelled thermal propulsion systemsFunding source: EPSRCStart: 01-02-2021 / End: 30-09-2023 The aim of the project is to develop a computationally cost-effective numerical tool for Co-Optimisation of fuel blend and combustion system in a systematic way, and to examine how the conflicting requirements can be met by adding gaseous fuels to ammonia so that engine can be operated stably and reliably with improved thermal efficiency and minimal NOx emissions. |
