Thermal Simulation of Millimetre Wave Ablation of Geological Materials
Albert Zhang, Stephen Millmore, Nikolaos Nikiforakis
This work is concerned with the numerical simulation of ablation of geological materials using a millimetre wave source. To this end, a new mathematical model is developed for a th…
A multi-physics method for fracture and fragmentation at high strain-rates
Tim Wallis, Philip T. Barton, Nikolaos Nikiforakis
This work outlines a diffuse interface method for the study of fracture and fragmentation in ductile metals at high strain-rates in Eulerian finite volume simulations. The work is…
The Development of a Multi-Physics Approach for Modelling the Response of Aerospace Fastener Assemblies to Lightning Attachment
William Bennett, Stephen Millmore, Nikolaos Nikiforakis
This work is concerned with the development of a numerical modelling approach for studying the time-accurate response of aerospace fasteners subjected to high electrical current lo…
Numerical modelling of imposed magnetohydrodynamic effects in hypersonic flows
Heather A. Muir, Nikos Nikiforakis
Weakly ionised plasmas, formed in high enthalpy hypersonic flows, can be actively manipulated via imposed magnetic fields - a concept termed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) flow control.…
A unified diffuse interface method for the interaction of rigid bodies with elastoplastic solids and multi-phase mixtures
Tim Wallis, Philip Barton, Nikolaos Nikiforakis
This work outlines a new multi-physics-compatible immersed rigid body method for Eulerian finite-volume simulations. To achieve this, rigid bodies are represented as a diffuse scal…
Reacting condensed phase explosives in direct contact
Riccardo Demattè, Louisa Michael, Nikolaos Nikiforakis
In this article we present a new formulation and an associated algorithm for the simultaneous numerical simulation of multiple condensed phase explosives in direct contact with eac…
