Wastewater treatment processes have high energy-costs and are challenging to optimise due to the complex coupled processes occurring. In England and Wales over 10 billion...
A proper understanding of how the geomagnetic field is generated in Earth’s liquid core, by the so-called geodynamo, remains one of the greatest outstanding problems...
Many flows are affected by mixing instabilities such as Kelvin-Helmholtz, Richtmyer-Meshkov and Rayleigh-Taylor, arising at the interface of two stratified fluids of different density. In...
The decarbonisation of heat will be a critical part of the UK’s plans to meet the 80% CO2 reduction targets set out in the UK...
Current designs of the vast array of microfluidic flow systems used throughout biology, chemistry and engineering are based on processing small volumes of liquid in...
Effective drill cooling is essential in order to ensure adequate tool life in critical applications. This project will develop new experimental and computational techniques for...
We are all familiar with mould in showers and bathrooms, but where does this come from? There is increasing evidence that the shower plays a...
This project will address fundamental aspects of glacial dynamics arising from the anisotropies of its crystalline structure, ultimately informing efforts to predict the evolution of...
Understanding changes in weather extremes under climate change is recognised internationally as a problem of urgent international importance (e.g. the Grand Challenges of World Climate...
The project involves developing particle image velocimetry PIV, as a practical way of characterising gaseous turbulence. It involves seeding the gas with small particles of...
