Nonlinear interactions between fluid flows inside and outside of sea ice
Arctic sea ice influences the Earth’s radiation budget through its relatively large albedo, and thus plays an important role in the Earth’s climate system. Hence,...
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.

The planetary boundary layer (the first 1–2 km above the surface) is the most dynamic and turbulent layer of Earth’s atmosphere, contributing the greatest uncertainty...
Understanding the effect of airflow in indoor environments is of great interest due to its close relationship to occupant’s safety, thermal comfort, energy and infection...
Several industries require airflow characterisation around large objects for safety and engineering purposes, such as construction/architecture, aviation, wind energy, and air quality. Despite CFD advances,...
High speed rail is a sustainable mode of transport that has the potential to help meet global ‘net zero’ targets. However, although train movement is...
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....
The importance and relevance of fluid mixing in modern science is clear, both from the range of industrial and environmental situations in which it appears,...
Understanding the effect of airflow in enclosed/indoor environments is of great interest due to its close relationship to occupant’s health, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency....
This project will address fundamental aspects of viscous flow arising from the evolution of a complex microstructure in the material, eventually informing efforts to predict...
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...
