个人简介
My research interests are within the general field of industrial fluid mechanics, with the emphasis on the experimental study of turbulent flows, particularly wind tunnel measurements.
Much of the data obtained from my studies of subsonic and supersonic jets in a crossflow (UK MoD / EPSRC funded) have been utilised by other academics and industry (including Qinetic (formerly DERA) and ARA Ltd, UK) for turbulence model validation. I have developed new instrumentation for turbulent flow studies, such as; miniature surface wire gauges for skin friction and near-wall structure (UK DTI funded), triangular pressure yawmeters for surface flow direction and skin friction, colour video analysis of liquid crystal surface coatings for measuring full-field shear stresses (DTI / MoD funded) and a twin-wire pulsed anemometer for measurements in recirculating flow regions (SERC funded). My data on the flows in the slat and flap cove regions of an A-300 Series high-lift wing section have been used by BAe Systems for model validation (SERC funded). The results obtained from my ongoing research programme concerning the aerodynamics of regularly shaped cavities has recently been published in ESDU Data Items for use in design. I have also recently been involved in several major wind engineering studies. The first of these has involved the monitoring and assessment of wind-induced foundation loads on a full-scale electricity transmission tower (fully funded by The National Grid Company, UK). The second is a study of the failure of transmission lines around the world due to high intensity winds such as tornadoes and microbursts (a collaboration between UWO and the University of Surrey, funded by Manitoba Hydro and NSERC, Canada). The third was the recently completed EU project TRAPOS involving ten partners (1.5MEuro), concerning physical and numerical modelling of flow and dispersion of traffic pollution within urban street canyons. This project was part of the wider European project SATURN. Related to this topic I organised a Workshop at UWO called PHYSMOD 2005 concerned with physical modelling of flow and dispersion, which was held from 24 - 26 August 2005.
