Ergonomics from ethnography: inclusive design insights
(Design Change, 2020)As user centred design methods become more important for inclusive design, designers increasingly use methods borrowed from other disciplines such as Ethnography to gain insights into user behaviour. But what are the ... -
Automated music therapy for anxiety and depression management in older people (AMITY)
(2024-10-03)The onset of old age brings physiological and mental changes, with anxiety and depression being common mental disorders that can trigger other health issues and reduce lifespan. However, due to a global shortage of mental ... -
Improving the door-to-door customer journey for a national public transport company
(MDPI, 2024-10-10)(1) Background: Public transport has a vital role to play in creating sustainable, accessible societies. Accessible and inclusive, door-to-door public transport systems with low barriers to use benefit everyone, increasing ... -
Universal design in design education: developing a framework of cross-continental perspectives.
(All Ireland Journal of Higher Education, 2024-09-24)Since the 1990s, the principles of Universal Design have offered design educators overarching guidelines to ensure the greatest extent of users are included in the design process. Universal Design education has grown widely, ... -
Co-design with integrated care teams: establishing information needs.
(Ubiquity Press, Ltd, 2023-10-20)Introduction: Co-design has been cited as playing a major role in the future of effective integrated care, however, there is a lack of reporting and reflection on the methods used. Information sharing is fundamental when ... -
Co-design for interdisciplinary research communities
(International Association of Societies of Design Research, 2023-10-09)Complex research challenges facing society today require an integrative approach, therefore, interdisciplinary research is now required more often. By creating interdisciplinary research communities, we facilitate ... -
Numerical investigation of non-premixed oblique detonation operations in scramjet combustor
(ICJWSF, 2024-09-23)The present study aims to develop strategies for hydrogen injection to operate scramjet combustor configuration in detonation mode at higher Mach number flights conditions. The reactive multi-species unsteady Navier-Stokes ... -
Numerical study of hydrogen injection to initiate oblique detonation wave
(CEAS, 2024-04-14)With the motivation of operating scramjet in shock induced combustion ramjet (shcramjet) or oblique detonation wave mode, the current study aims to develop strategies for non-premixed oblique detonation wave configuration ... -
Numerical studies of ram-air Intake for near-earth satellites
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2024-01)The operation of satellites in Earth orbits with altitudes lower than 450 km involves dealing with rarefied atmosphere environment. To compensate for the aerodynamic drag present in this low-density atmosphere, satellites ... -
Studying the influence of aluminium in ADN/HTPB-based solid propellants
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Inc., 2024-01)Ammonium Dinitramide (ADN) combustion has been the subject of great interest over the past few years due to consideration as a green oxidizer in solid rocket propellants. This study is focused on predicting the flame ... -
Numerical investigation of the impact of injectors location on fuel mixing in the hifire 2 scramjet combustor
(2023)In scramjets, the position and direction of the injectors plays a crucial role for fuel/air mixing and combustion efficiency. Fuel injection is still a potential topic of research to be addressed, in fact an effective ... -
Numerical study of oblique detonation wave control for fuel blends
(2023)The current study is motivated to develop control strategies for oblique detonation wave formation on a finite length wedge in a premixed methane-air mixture. The effectiveness of hydrogen blends (0 - 100%) to methaneair ... -
Unsteady DSMC Simulation of blunt nose with spike at hypersonic rarefield flows
(2023-03-29)To design an efficient ram-air intake for an air-breathing propulsion system for VLEO (Very-Low) / SLEO (Super Low) Earth Orbit satellites requires consideration of the unsteady effects in the hypersonic low-density or ... -
Mach number dependence of flow instability around a spiked body
(AIP Publishing, 2023-05-05)A forward-facing aerospike have been identified as a passive flow control device for enhancing the aerodynamic efficiency and reducing the heat transfer in high-speed flows. In addition, it has been reported that the ... -
An assessment of radiation models utilized in CFD for thermal and fluid analysis in interior building spaces with large glazing
(AIP Publishing, 2023)This paper investigates the effects of using the S2S and the DO method in the CFD simulation of a cavity to identify a convenient model for simulating radiative heat transfer. A 3D model for an office room fitted with a ... -
A concept of aerospike nozzle for cold spray additive manufacturing: towards a potential solution for preventing the issue of clogging
(ASM International, 2023-05-22)The clogging, a frequent gas passage deformation phenomenon because of powder accumulation on inner nozzle wall, is a major issue in long duration Cold Spray (CS) operations and a major challenge for Cold spray technology ... -
Investigation of a modified circular nozzle for cold spray applications
(ASM International, 2023-05-22)The current work numerically evaluates the efficacy of a coflowing nozzle for cold spray applications with the aim to mitigate nozzle clogging by reducing the length of its divergent section. The high-pressure nitrogen ... -
Co-designing with engineers for community engagement in rural Uganda
(Cambridge University Press, 2023-05-04)Co-design is seen as crucial for designing solutions for resource-constrained people living in developing countries. To best understand their needs, user engagement and co-design strategies need to first be developed. ... -
Increasing student motivation and awareness towards career opportunities through gamification
(2017-10)Student engagement is important to ensure success towards their desired career opportunities (High and Andrews, 2009). Students engage with their coursework to receive the necessary grades to avoid failure (Covington, ...
