Metamaterial selective absorber for infrared stealth

This project explores metamaterials’ potential for thermal infrared (IR) stealth by analyzing various material configurations and structural designs. Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis investigates how metamaterials can selectively emit radiation, achieve radiative cooling, and potentially attain perfect IR stealth, offering promising applications in thermal invisibility technology.

Thermal compliance topology optimisation

This project leverages Thermal Compliance Topology Optimization and finite element analysis to optimize geothermal heat exchanger (GHE) designs for high-temperature conditions. It employs open-source software for modeling and visualization, conducts parametric studies, and generates GHE structures resembling plant roots. The optimized GHE layouts enhance heat dissipation, reduce soil temperature impacts, and offer sustainable heating and cooling solutions.
