The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Fluid Dynamics is now recruiting to this fantastic PhD opportunity in partnership with Dupont Teijin Films. As a student on the CDT you will participate in a four year programme that combines an integrated MSc (completed over the first two years) paired with a three year PhD-level research...
CDT student Rory Hetherington has been involved in research for COVID-19, helping to develop a way of creating a ventilatory system for patients that can be made rapidly on a 3D printer. It is a low-tech solution based on redesigning an existing medical device known as a Venturi valve. It does not need electricity and...
Congratulations to CDT Management Board member, Prof Jurgen Schneider, who has obtained a Wellcome Trust Investigator in Science Award worth £1.7m to support research in cardiac remodelling. The project combines leading expertise in cDMRI and microstructural imaging with access to one of only three such scanners worldwide (located at the Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre – CUBRIC), to develop next generation assessments of human...
Congratulations to CDT student Damilola Adekanye who was awarded a John Fox prize which funded a research placement to TU Braunschweig, Germany in March 2020.
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) provide the opportunity for doctoral students to work for three months in one of a selected group of policy organisations (https://www.ukri.org/skills/policy-internships-scheme/). My Application to work within Defra was successful, and I chose to start at the London offices in August 2019. The internship involved writing an evidence statement summarising the...
Congratulations to CDT student Tom Padgett who recently published results of his research in the Royal Society Open Science Journal. His research looks at how weirs, fish passes and hydro-electric plants can best be configured to avoid disruption to eel and fish migration. Tom's paper is open access and can be viewed here: Read Tom's open access...
Congratulations to CDT student Robert Long, who was awarded an OSPA (Outstanding Student Presentation Award) for his poster in the Geophysical Fluid Dynamics session at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) Fall Meeting, San Francisco in December 2019: https://www.agu.org/fall-meeting
Final year CDT student Paul Allen has published his first paper on how multiple surges in gravity currents propagate. The publication has been chosen as a featured article by Physics of Fluids. Congratulations Paul! Paper details: P. A. Allen, R. M. Dorrell, O. G. Harlen, R. E. Thomas, W. D. McCaffrey, (2020), Pulse propagation in gravity...
Congratulations to CDT Student Thomas Padgett, who is a final year PhD student, on the publication of his new paper modelling eel movement in fish passes to aid improvement in their design. Paper details: Padgett, T.E., Thomas, R.E., Borman, D.J. and Mould, D.C., 2020. Individual-based model of juvenile eel movement parametrized with computational fluid dynamics-derived...
The 5th of December saw us celebrate our annual NAG Prize ceremony with the addition of new prizes rewarding the publication and outreach achievements of our students. We were pleased to announce that CDT student Reece Coyle is the winner of the NAG Prize for the best performance in the MSc component of our integrated...
