About

Professor Hassan MBE FREng PhD DSc FICE CEng FLSW research interest is in computational methods for the solution of problems in engineering analysis and design.

Professor Oubay Hassan and Professor Ken Morgan, in close partnership with BAE Systems, and Airbus have led the development of the FLITE system that enable the modelling of problems in computational fluid mechanics an computational electromagnetic.

An excellent example, which received significant worldwide publicity, was the use of the developed FLITE system to support the aerodynamic design of THRUST SSC, the car which took the World Land Speed Record beyond the speed of sound in 1997.

Building on his previous success, he has led the team that has developed the CFD technologies that deemed required to ensure a successful aerodynamic design of the new BLOODHOUND Land Speed Record project. The main aim of this project is to use the BLOODHOUND SSC as the platform for provision of high-quality public engagement activities that motivate the next generation to deal with global 21st century challenges.

Taught Modules

EG-154 Conceptual Design and Analysis Practice

This 30 credit module spans TB1 and TB2 and addresses the topic of Conceptual Design and Analysis in the context of Civil Engineering. Teaching will combine conventional lecture sessions, computer lab work, example classes and practical design, build and test, groupwork and presentation. The module brings together the principals and practice of graphical communication (hand sketching, engineering drawing and computer modelling), civil engineering concept development, structural analysis, an understanding of the use of key civil engineering materials (eg Steel, Concrete, Timber, Masonry) and the preliminary sizing of structural elements in accordance with Eurocodes as part of the Conceptual Design development process. We link to learning from modules Engineering Mechanics and Strength of Materials, reinforcing understanding of structural analysis and building skills in sketching internal force diagrams without going through step-by-step calculations. The axial force in truss structures, as well as the shear force and bending moment diagrams in continuous beams and frames, are the principal structural analysis skills developed here. We also develop further engineering knowledge of key skills, such as the analysis of statically determinate structures in Civil Engineering.
EG-221 Structural Mechanics 2

This module primarily concerns the analysis of statically indeterminate structures.
EGIM06 Advanced Fluid Flow Simulation

This module provides an overview on the principles of advanced fluid flow simulations. The topics include compressible and incompressible flows and computational methods to solve these problems. The course will cover the implementation of computational fluid dynamics algorithms and the use of commercial software.
