Due to the complex nature of the built environment, urban wind flow is unpredictable and characterised by high levels of turbulence and low mean wind speed. Yet, there is a potential for harnessing urban wind power by carefully integrating wind turbines within the built environment at the optimum locations. This requires a thorough investigation of...

One of the main factors affecting the reliability of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations for the urban environment is the Horizontal Homogeneity of the Atmospheric Boundary Layer (HHABL) profile—meaning the vertical profiles of the mean streamwise velocity, the turbulent kinetic energy, and dissipation rate are maintained throughout the...

One of the most important aspects of chilled food deterioration in delicatessen cabinets economically is associated with drying, rather than spoilage mechanism, especially for unwrapped products. Investigating the effects of the bacterial spoilage and moisture migration for chilled-unwrapped food product such as sandwiches, which have short display...

Chilled foods have been available since the 1960s. However, over the past 20 years, the market has been driven by the huge social, economic and demographic changes that have influenced our eating habits. This has contributed to making the chilled food production and retail in the UK one of the world’s fastest-growing food sectors with food retail s...
