1. Modelling the use of phase change materials in buildings to develop
low energy cooling.
Professor A.W. Woods BP Institute and Dr. J. Adams (BP)
The project will involve experimental and theoretical modeling of the
use of phase change materials in low energy building design,
especially in the context of using pcms with night cooling, to provide
cooling during hot summer conditions. The project will involve
development of mathematical models of the pre-cooling of air by heat
exchange with the pcm's, combined with models of the nonlinear
convective flow in the building which controls the flow rate; in
addition, the modeling will account for the absorbtion of heat in the
pcm's during the day, and the subsequent solidification as cooler air
is brought into contact with them through the night.
2. Evolution of Conjugate Deep-Water Margins
Dr. N. J. White, Dr. A. Crosby, Dr. M. Thompson (BP ) and Dr. R.
Corfield (BP )
Ocean basins form when continental lithosphere is stretched to
infinity. During the early stages of this process, modest stretching
generates an extensional sedimentary basin which evolves into a
conjugate pair of more highly stretched margins. Structural and
stratigraphic patterns of these margins yield important insights into
the dynamical evolution of lithospheric stretching and ocean basin
formation. The most hotly debated issues concern the symmetry of this
process, the form of depth dependent extension, and the possible
existence of hot, cold and even warm margins.
Furthermore, the subsequent stratigraphic history of each margin is
moderated in significant ways by tilting and vertical motions
generated by mantle convection processes. Both topics are of
considerable interest to the hydrocarbon industry.
In recent years, large amounts of industrial and academic deep seismic
reflection and wideangle data, calibrated by boreholes, have been
acquired across many conjugate margin systems throughout the Atlantic
Ocean and, at present, within the Arctic Ocean.
During this project,a comprehensive seismic database will be
developed, mapped and analyzed in conjunction with well-log
information and other geophysical observations. Crustal and
stratigraphic data will then be modelled using a suite of inverse
algorithms which permit the strain rate history in time, distance and
depth to be recovered. The main aims will be to explore how well
simple models can account for a wide range of observations, to compare
detailed rift architecture with predicted strain rate histories, and
to constrain the history of subsequent tilting and vertical motions as
conjugate margins spread apart.
We are especially interested in explaining lateral variations in
thermal histories and in vertical motions maintained by mantle
convection processes. An important component of the project will be
analysis of newly acquired surveys from the Arctic Ocean.
This pro ject will appeal to geology and/or physics graduates who are
interested in understanding how conjugate margins evolve and in how
these margins record later vertical motions.
He/she will be trained in many aspects of seismic data manipulation,
computer modelling and hydrocarbon exploration. The pro ject will be
carried out in close collaboration with our colleagues in BP Exploration.
