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...
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...
The design of hydraulic infrastructure and in particular reservoir spillways is an area of significant importance from a safety and economic perspective (consider recent failure incidents at Toddbook,...
Fluid-solid multiphase flows in environmental systems repeatedly develop similar landform patterns – understanding why is a fundamental challenge. Modelling of such flows is complicated by the range of...
Understanding the transport, deposition, and burial processes of anthropogenic pollutants (e.g. micro- and nanoplastics), and organic carbon, are major challenges to predicting marine pollution hotspots and quantifying blue carbon stocks. Burial...
Impinging jets are used in a wide range of process engineering applications; such as tunnelling operations, paint spraying and cavitation drilling. Liquid jets are also used...
COVID-19 has raised numerous questions around how infrastructure contributes to the risk of infection. Sanitation is a known risk for a number of infections (e.g. diarrheal diseases) and...
