Improved numerical models for gas flow in shale
Shale gas has rapidly changed the energy market in the USA and is poised to do so elsewhere in the world. Despite this success there...
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 Earth’s liquid core is a very remote place indeed – we know relatively very little about its structure and dynamics because direct observation is...
Convection within the Earth’s fluid core generates the planetary magnetic field; spatial and temporal variations of the geomagnetic field can thus be used to gain...
Currents, driven by a density difference from the ambient surroundings, are an important class of geophysical flow, pertinent to atmospheric, terrestrial, deep marine and inner...
Accurate prediction of (rotating) convection is important in Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP). Convection is also coupled to the phase changes of water in the atmosphere...
This project will collect and analyse new field observations of the Indian Monsoon system, in order to develop new dynamical models of the monsoon circulation....
Underwater landslides generate some of the largest and most dangerous sedimentary flows in the world. These flows may cause catastrophic damage to infrastructure in their...
On earth, and every solid planetary body studied in this solar system, geophysical flows sculpt the landscape in environments including rivers, glaciers, deserts, deltas, shallow...
The project will model the stratigraphic architecture of evolving seafloor channel networks through delivery of 3 key research goals: Development of reduced complexity short-time-scale models...
Many flows are affected by mixing instabilities such as Kelvin-Helmholtz, Richtmyer-Meshkov and Rayleigh-Taylor, arising at the interface of two stratified fluids of different density. In...
