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.
This timely and interdisciplinary project will be applying a series of advanced techniques in flow mechanics in order to shed light on glacier dynamics strongly...
The conditions under which a flow remains laminar or transitions to a turbulent state is of both fundamental scientific and practical importance. Whilst some flow...
Organic carbon and pollutant concentrations in the modern ocean are poorly constrained. In particular, ocean floor channels on slopes, which are the main conduits for...
The growth, retention and release of trapped gas within soft sediments is critically important in many natural and engineered systems; from methane formation within the...
The issues surrounding the discard and transport of plastic waste into our oceans has become a critical research theme in recent years, as the dire...
Convection in rocky or icy planetary mantles controls the evolution of the terrestrial planets and many of the moons in the solar system. This convection...
Impinging jets are used in a wide range of process engineering application e.g. tunnelling operations, paint spraying and cavitation drilling. Liquid jets are also used...
Non-spherical particles in fluid flows are encountered in both natural and industrial environments. The relevance of non-spherical particles to the flow properties of complex fluids...
Submarine fan systems form some of the largest sedimentary deposit and they incorporate hydrocarbon reservoirs of critical importance to global industry and economy. Submarine fan...
In this project the student will model debris flows using CFD methods to obtain predictive tools for the travel distance and extent of debris flows....
