Mansour al Qubeissi

Dr. Mansour al Qubeissi is experienced in fluid mechanics, CFD development and mathematical modelling of thermal-fluid systems. His research efforts have resulted in dissemination of several publications in internationally refereed journals (e.g. Fuel, Int J heat and mass transfer), conferences (e.g. ILASS) and two textbooks. He is also involved in supervising industrial group projects - currently sponsored by JLR, final year individual projects, PhDs, and MSc projects.

Dr. al Qubeissi is recognised for his other achievements, such as:

2010 (£2k) Award winner, by UNLTD, as a social entrepreneur for developing a local project “NETWORKING”, in which ethnic minorities were successfully encouraged to melt into society and enrol into higher education.
In 2009, Dr al Qubeissi received a UK-CARA Research Award with value of £7k for the MPhil degree achievement at the University of Sussex.
A STEM Ambassador, in which he delivers engineering knowledge to young generations (years 7-16) with aims of raising awareness of these generations in mathematics and engineering and associated real life applications.

Investigation of heating and evaporation of multi-component droplets:
This project was built the EPSRC projects ‘A Fundamental Study of the Novel Poppet Valve 2-Stroke Auto-ignition Combustion Engine (2-ACE)’ (EP/F058276/1) and ‘Development of a new quantitative kinetic model for the analysis of heating and evaporation processes in complex hydrocarbon fuel droplets’ (EP/H001603/1). It was focused on the development of the new models for realistic multi-component droplet heating and evaporation which are relevant for automotive applications, implementation of these models into the CFD code FLUENT, and testing the models against experimental data.
Energy Efficiency and Environment: a Cross-Channel Cluster (E3C3):
The INTERREG E3C3 project aims to create a centre for research and training focused on the development of knowledge, optimization strategies and tools for improving energy production systems (burners, engines, gas turbines), for a clean combustion based on consumption of liquid fuels from biomass.
