A new Lagrangian approach to modelling density currents
This project will use the Ellipsoidal Parcel-in-Cell (EPIC) model to study the fluid dynamics of density currents (also known as gravity currents). EPIC provides a...

Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) play a pivotal role in determining the properties of clouds and their role in climate change (Murray et al. 2021). However, our...
Computer hardware is changing noticeably at the fundamental, computer arithmetic level in the last decade. Graphical processing units (GPUs) and some CPUs increasingly started introducing...
Hyperloop is a newly proposed mode of transportation where vehicles move within a tube held at vacuum-type conditions at speeds of up to 1200km/h. Currently,...
This project involves the investigation of the mechanisms that lead to reversals of the Earth’s magnetic field. As shown in the figure below, the polarity...

The water sector is facing crucial challenges because of climate change and population growth, compromising serviceability. The demand for water and energy is expected to...
Most winter weather extremes in the UK and Europe are driven by the North Atlantic jet stream – a belt of strong winds encircling the...
This project aims to develop cutting edge numerical methods for optimisation of design and control in fluid-structure interaction systems, with application to understanding of C....
We now know that while most stars host planets, their planetary systems are quite unlike our own and their formation histories were likely different to...
