A paper based on the MSc group project of Inna Gorbatenko, Evaldas Greiciunas, James Hall and Jenny Wong has been published in the Journal of Rheology. This paper describes the design and operation of the Rayleigh Ohnesorge jetting extensional rheometer (ROJER), which enables measurement of very short relaxation times of low viscosity complex fluids such...
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Fluid Dynamics at Leeds website. This website aims to provide an overview of the enormous range of Fluid Dynamics research undertaken at the University of Leeds. This includes activities led from multiple faculties including Engineering, Computing, Earth and Environment, Mathematics and Physics. Our goal is to promote and...
IGT scientists Dr Jon Mound and Dr Phil Livermore had the following article published in The Conversation 27.01.2017 The Earth’s magnetic field surrounds our planet like an invisible force field – protecting life from harmful solar radiation by deflecting charged particles away. Far from being constant, this field is continuously changing. Indeed, our planet’s history includes at least several hundred global magnetic reversals,...
CDT Supervisors Dr Phil Livermore and Prof Rainer Hollerbach speak to BBC News about their collaborative study which has revealed a jet stream within the Earth's molten iron core using the latest satellite data to create an 'x-ray' view of the planet Read more about this in an online article.
We are pleased to announce that CDT student Caitlin Chalk is the winner of the NAG Prize for the best performance in the MSc component of our integrated MSc/PhD Fluid Dynamics programme in cohort one.
CDT Management Board member and supervisor, Prof Cath Noakes is leading the The Low-Energy Ventilation Network (LEVN) alongside Imperial College’s Dr Henry Burridge. It brings together academics from multiple disciplines, and aims to bridge the knowledge-gap between optimal strategies for building ventilation and current industry practice. The LEVN will support the application of fundamental fluids mechanics...
Chosen by a distinguished panel, the Guide showcases the excellent student experience at Leeds. Alastair McCall, editor of the Good University Guide, said: "The University of Leeds thoroughly deserves this award for prioritising students' needs first to last. Outstanding student satisfaction levels do not happen by accident and reflect the emphasis placed here on getting...
CDT partners JBA Trust and JBA Consulting demonstrate the wave tank designed and tested by CDT students Will Booker, Thomas Goodfellow and Jacob van Alwon during their MSc team project. This tank is used to show the impact of coastal defences on flood risk. Three tanks are in use in the UK, and a fourth has been commissioned for...
The CDT held an induction event at Weetwood Hall on 19th-21st September for the new students in the third cohort. The activities included a briefing of the PhD project process, hands-on team building activities, talks from the Management Board, current PhD students and industry partners. We would like to thank Geoff Randall (Sellafield) and Dr...
