Please note that the PhD projects listed are examples of projects offered to current CDT students and as such are not generally available to prospective students.
Jet streams are fundamental geophysical fluid dynamical features within Earth’s rotating, stratified atmosphere. Unusual behaviour of the jet streams is frequently associated with extreme weather...
This project will address fundamental aspects of fluid-dense granular flow giving rise to the evolution of a complex micro- to mesoscale structures in the material,...
Turbulent atmospheric rotors in the boundary layer associated with mountain lee waves can be a major hazard to aviation. This collaborative project with the Met...
This project will design a mask system capable of providing size segregated aerosols from human subjects. This will be used to ascertain the transmission characteristics...
Wastewater treatment processes have high energy costs and are challenging to optimise due to the complex coupled processes occurring. Over 10 billion litres of sewage...
The proposed project primarily addresses the research challenge of integrating low-carbon energy systems for sustainable and economically affordable energy conversion, storage and utilisation. Low carbon...
We introduce Wetropolis: a mathematical and physical model set-up. Wetropolis consists of a random weather or rain machine driving rainfall in a down-scaled river-catchment landscape....
Tropical cyclones (TCs) are amongst the most hazardous severe weather systems in the tropics. Forecasts of TC tracks have improved in recent years (Heming et...
Figure 1. Organic carbon (black layers) is preferentially stored in discrete intervals of a marine sediment. Understanding why and how this happens is critical to...
This project combines mathematical/computational modelling with geological and geophysical parameters to explore fluid and heat flow capacities of potential future geothermal reservoirs within UK aquifers....
