Mechanical Engineering

Research group: Mechatronics, Faculty of Engineering and the Environment Additive manufacturing, also called 3D printing, is a disruptive technology. It directly allows the manufacture of components in a layer-by-layer manner, not only reducing material waste and production cost, but also intrinsically freeing most limitation and restrictions of...

Understanding the dispersion of pollutants in atmospheric flow is of vital importance for infrastructure planning and urban development as well as forecasting the spread of air-borne hazards in outdoor and indoor environments. To provide analyses in minimal time, empirical approaches, like Gaussian puff methods and single or multizone models, are...

Heat exchangers are used widely throughout the automotive, marine and aerospace sectors and are traditionally designed as an assembly of fins and tubes. Modern additive manufacturing processes, however, enable complex internal cooling passages to be manufactured with relative ease. Such structures can be optimised for a variety of performance parameters...
