Over 100 students, academic staff and industry partners attended the EPSRC Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) Poster Evening. Students from the following CDTs exhibited their MSc team project and PhD project posters: Bioenergy Complex Particulate Products & Processes (CP3) Fluid Dynamics Integrated Tribology Nuclear Fission – Next Generation Nuclear Tissue Engineering & Regenerative Medicine –...
CDT supervisor, Prof Stephen Mobbs, and his colleagues have been able to measure the climatic effect of a wind farm on the local environment for the first time. They focused on Black Law wind farm, Scotland, which has been operating since 2005. With 54 turbines and a generation capacity of 124 megawatts, it is one...
A mathematical model developed at the University of Leeds could make it possible to design safer versions of the 'fast ships' used in many vital offshore operations. Travelling at up to 30 knots, fast ships are used for search and rescue, anti-piracy and for transporting wind farm, oil and gas personnel. These ships are especially...
Students from the University of Leeds' EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Fluid Dynamics have spent three days at the Materials Processing Institute (MPI) in Teesside, with further visits planned between now and July as their project progresses. Led by Professor Onno Bokhove, CDT students Paul Allen, Caroline Shields and Fryderyk Wilczynski spent time...
First year student, Rory Hetherington, and second year student, Caitlin Chalk, share what a typical week as a CDT student is like. Read the article here.
Pint of Science is an non-profit organisation whose aim is to provide a platform for which the public can engage with researchers and hear about innovative science. Held during an annual international festival, talks and activities will deliver interesting, fun, relevant topics across a range of STEM subjects...all in the pub! This year will see...
CDT Fluid Dynamics academic, Professor Cath Noakes, and other researchers at the University of Leeds have developed a quantitative model to predict how the design of hospitals can affect the spread of infections. This computer model predicts that multi-bed hospital wards increase bacterial hand contamination by 20% compared with single-bed wards. Understanding exactly how bacteria spread...
Professor Doug Parker has recently been recognised by the University of Leeds Vice Chancellor's Impact Awards for his work on the African Monsoon Multidisciplinary Analysis (AMMA). The awards recognise outstanding examples of the contribution that the University's research makes to society. Four awards were made across the University, with Professor Parker's work representing the Engineering...
A key part of the PhD/MSc Fluid Dynamics programme is the interdisciplinary MSc team projects which run over semester two of year one. These projects involve aspects of mathematical modelling, experimentation and computational simulation. The current cohort of CDT in Fluid Dynamics students have successfully completed the following MSc team projects. Please click on each project...
