- Additional information
- Cooling of densely packed heat sources without the need for an external energy input is an ideal solution rarely achieved. This work demonstrated, for the first time, the conditions that promote self-cooling in buoyancy-induced flows using a holistic approach involving theory, numerics and experiments. Fundamental investigations were performed through a collaboration with University of Limerick (Ireland) and applied to industry R&D, including the design of passive cooling for remote radio cells in wireless telecommunications (Alcatel-Lucent, Bell Labs). The outputs have resulted in several invited talks (most recently 2nd UK-China symposium on Clean Energy Utilisation, 2019).
