Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering
Sustainable Technology
The School is actively involved in research in the area of Sustainable Technology. It's research in this area is focused on the following topics:
Computational Modelling of the Hydrodynamics of Ocean Wave Energy Converters
- Development of three dimensional two-fluid flow codes
- Work on efficient and parallel solution algorithm
- Development of numerical codes for modelling of heat transfer in two fluid flow
- Extension of code two model phase change and simulate boiling process
- Automobile industry applications
Sample research projects of the School of Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering in this area include:
- Development of Numerical Wave Tank and Study of the influence of Vortex Shedding on Fluid Structure Interaction
- Investigation of the influence of solar radiation on convective heat transfer coefficients at walls
- Development of Industrial Common Rail System
- Developing A Compressed Natural Gas Injector
- Design and Optimization of Multi-Valves LPG System
- Strategy of the Development of Compressed Natural Gas System (CNG) For VehiclesHybrid AI/Simulation techniques for Optimisation of Manufacturing
The two other main areas of research identified by the school as strategic research themes are Biomedical Engineering and Innovative Manufacturing.
