Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics has launched a brand new FutureLearn course in fluid dynamics, prepared by Dr Duncan Borman, Prof Cath Noakes and Prof Juliane Schwendike. It is free to access for two weeks. Available to buy if you wish to retain it longer term. Fluid Dynamics in Practice: Applications to Real-World Challenges Explore...
Six research students on the EPSRC CDT Fluid Dynamics and EPSRC CDT Future Fluid Dynamics have been, or are being, supported by Sellafield Ltd through their Academic Centre of Expertise for Sludge (Particulates and Fluids) at the University of Leeds. This Centre is focused on providing support to Sellafield Ltd’s long-term objectives of the safe...
Meteorological experts and students are working together to improve early warnings of severe thunderstorms in Southern Africa. Professor Doug Parker and Professor John Marsham in the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds, are leading a ground-breaking weather forecasting ‘testbed’ as part of a project to create new early warning systems for vulnerable communities in...
Applications are open for the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Fluid Dynamics Research Internships, which will take place over summer 2025. Our Research Internships allow prospective postgraduate researchers to gain first-hand experience of the research environment in fluid dynamics at the University of Leeds. This experience will assist them to help informed decisions...
