Multi-period Least Cost Optimisation Model of an Integrated Carbon Dioxide Capture Transportation and Storage Infrastructure in the UK
Abstract The commercial deployment of CO2 capture and storage (CCS) technology requires whole system optimisation of the CO2 supply, transport and storage chain under evolving targets or constraints. Most of the earlier attempts to model CCS...

Heavy Rainfall Distributions Over Java Sea in Wet Season
Abstract Mesoscale convective complexes (MCC) systems produce a wide variety of severe convective weather such as heavy rainfall. The MCC is a subclass of mesoscale convective systems (MCSs) defining as a convective cloud system that is large, long...

Using pattern recognition to infer parameters governing mantle convection
Abstract The results of mantle convection simulations are fully determined by the input parameters and boundary conditions used. These input parameters can be for initialisation, such as initial mantle temperature, or can be constant values, such as ...

Quantitative analysis of rockburst for surrounding rocks and zonal disintegration mechanism in deep tunnels
Abstract Rock masses without pre-existing macrocracks can usually be considered as granular materials with only microcracks. During the excavation of the tunnels, microcracks may nucleate, grow and propagate through the rock matrix; secondary...

Fluid flow in fractured and fracturing porous media: A unified view
Abstract Fluid flow in fractures that pre-exist or propagate in a porous medium can have a major influence on the deformation and flow characteristics. With the aim of carrying out large-scale calculations at reasonable computing costs, a sub-grid...

The effect of weirs on nutrient concentrations
Abstract The removal of a weir in 1999 from the River Nidd in Yorkshire, UK, was assessed in terms of its impact on in-stream nitrate removal along a 15.8km long stretch of river. Models of channel hydraulics and denitrification quantified the...

Clues that decaying leaves enrich Arctic air with ice nucleating particles
Abstract Decaying leaves from Arctic regions have previously been reported to produce large numbers of ice nucleating particles (IN). Their atmospheric relevance is unclear. Our initial observations at a coastal mountain observatory in northern...
