A growing number of areas in the UK have implemented decentralised energy to ensure a reliable and sustainable solution for future energy supply. With this in mind, and following an initial meeting in November 2012 hosted by Siemens, City of Lincoln Council is hosting a workshop to discuss decentralised energy options for Lincoln. We currently […]
Research Projects
Sensor Validation Research Publications on Siemens sponsored research
We run Remote Monitoring and Sensing (RMS) and Sensor Validation projects with Siemens Industrial Turbomachinery as part of our remit as Preferred University Partner. The Remote Monitoring and Sensing project is a rolling work-programme which focuses on the research, development and application of data-analysis tools for the on-line determination of a wide-range of unit failure […]

Abatement of an Aircraft Exhaust Plume Using Aerodynamic Baffles
The exhaust jet from a departing commercial aircraft will eventually rise buoyantly away from the ground; given the high thrust/power (i.e., momentum/buoyancy) ratio of modern aero-engines, however, this is a slow process, perhaps requiring ∼1 min or more. Supported by theoretical and wind tunnel modeling, we have experimented with an array of aerodynamic baffles on […]
The humble ‘virtual chimney’ fences that could reduce the impact of airport pollution
EPSRC Press Release Issue Date: Thursday 31st January, 2013 The humble ‘virtual chimney’ fences that could reduce the impact of airport pollution Simple ‘blast’ fences called baffles could deliver improvements in air quality for people living near airports, new research has found. Placed behind a runway, the baffles could serve as a ‘virtual chimney’, funnelling […]
