This project seeks to overcome current obstacles to predictive modelling of nucleate boiling in droplets impacting on realistic non-uniform heated surfaces. The key development will be...
Contaminant removal commonly involves forcing a fluid through a sorption column – a confined tube filled with porous material capable of removing certain components of...
Have you ever felt uncomfortable or suffocated in crowds in a shopping mall? Do you know how fast an airborne contagious disease can spread in...
Controlled fusion seeks to harness the power of the Sun on Earth. The aim is to confine hot plasma in a toroidal device known as a tokamak so that...
In collaboration with Airbus (Defence & Space) and ESDU, this project will develop a new sensing capability that will be tested in a wind tunnel and on-board Airbus’s Zephyr S...
Have you ever felt uncomfortable or suffocated in crowds in a shopping mall? Do you know how fast an airborne contagious disease can spread in...
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, the...
Our ability to confidently predict the safety of a nuclear waste repository depends on our ability to correctly model the interaction of fluids residing in the host rock surrounding the repository and the potential for fluid...
Droplets are a fascinating and challenging area of fluid dynamics. Their interactions with each other, with surfaces, films and particles, are important to numerous natural...
Various micro/nano-patterned superhydrophobic surfaces have proved effective in significantly reducing the frictional loss on solid boundaries, thanks to providing stable Cassie wetting conditions in which...
