This project will address fundamental aspects of glacial dynamics arising from the anisotropies of its crystalline structure, ultimately informing efforts to predict the evolution of...
We are all familiar with mould in showers and bathrooms, but where does this come from? There is increasing evidence that the shower plays a...
Modelling fluid-solid multiphase flows in environmental systems are complicated by the range of scales between those controlling turbulent suspension of particulate material and the size...
Spraying is ubiquitous and finds application within delivery of materials (e.g. paints, agrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, personal-care products) to surfaces (e.g. crops, fabrics, skin). The spraying process...
Particles present in liquid dispersions may agglomerate to form larger fractal structures under various conditions. Such ‘flocs’ are ubiquitous in many industries and the natural...
Liquid jets are widely encountered from printing to ‘big industry’ which use jets for a range of applications including decontaminating surfaces (buildings, reactors etc.). In...
We propose an exciting PhD opportunity to develop the research foundation for this PhD to make sure all objectives can be achieved. The PhD project...
In the manufacture of complex formulated liquid products the incorporation and mixing of surfactants and polymers can lead to significant challenges. This is due to the...
Spray drying is a widely used unit operation for the manufacture of particulate products in the food, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It is a one-step...
