28th Italian Association of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIDAA) 10th Council for European Aerospace Societies (CEAS) International Congress, Turin, Italy, December 2025 Talk: A multiscale approach for the thermo-hydraulic and structural performance prediction of compact cross flow heat exchangers I recently attended the AIDAA conference, which was a highly engaging event with a strong aerospace focus,...
Optimising Supersonic Nozzles to Investigate Interstellar Chemical Kinetics With CFD Dr Greg de Boer (supervisor) Luke Driver (pgr) PhD Project: Computational fluid dynamics analysis and optimisation of Laval nozzles for low temperature kinetics This project brings together core expertise in CFD and chemical kinetics to optimise the design of Laval nozzles used to measure the reaction rates...
Our PhD students had the fantastic opportunity to collaborate with water professionals from the Environment Agency, Arup and JBA Trust. They explored practical demonstrations using the wave tank and river flume models, alongside Wetropolis and Rotating Tables from the University of Leeds. This hands-on experience helped our students refine their ability to communicate key concepts...
Healthcare Associated Infections (HCAIs) infect over 635,000 patients each year, costing the NHS £2.1 billion annually1. Ventilation is recognized as a mitigation strategy for HCAIs and respiratory infections such as influenza and COVID-19 but there remain gaps in our understanding the effectiveness of ventilation and the influence it has in real-world settings. The UK Health...
