Energy and Environmental Engineering
Research in this area covers a wide range of topics including the development of technology to produce clean fuels including biofuels; work related to hydrogen storage and transportation; water and air pollution control technologies; computational modelling of contaminant dispersion in both liquid and gas phases.
Current research projects include:
- dynamic theories for multiphase flow in porous media developing tools for problems involving coupled free and porous flow
- permeable reactive barrier for remediation of contaminated subsurface
- finite element analysis of tidal dynamics and solute transport in estuary networks
- finite volume modelling of contaminants mobility in land
- use of the natural gas-infrastructure to assist in the transition to the hydrogen economy by transporting mixtures of natural gas and hydrogen
