Our research is powered by new development of advanced numerical and experimental approaches.
Continuum-based: CFD, FEM, LBM; Discrete-based: DEM, MD. Data-based: NN, PCA; Thermodynamics-based: Calphad.
Modelling fundamentals of reacting flows, involving multiphase flows and thermochemical behaviours with applications to resource industries:
Process metallurgy; Black/brown coal & biomass prep and utilization; Water; Food; Recycling (PV/plastic/tyre); Energy industries (Conventional and Renewable); Hydrogen gen and storage; Solar cells synthesis.
