The contact resistance between the gas diffusion layer (GDL) and the bipolar plate has been experimentally estimated as they are assembled in proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cells. A number of coated and non-coated GDLs, graphite bipolar plates and a sealing gasket were employed to perform...

An analytical methodology for predicting above-roof mean wind speeds in urban areas is first used to map wind speeds over four different UK cities. The methodology utilises detailed geometric data describing buildings and vegetation to calculate the aerodynamic characteristics of the urban...

Decentralised energy sources, such as small-scale-wind energy, have a number of well-known advantages. However, within urban areas, the potential for energy generation from the wind is not currently fully utilised. One of the most significant reasons for this is that the complexity of air flows...
