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 overall aim of the proposed research is to predict the effects of corrosion and erosion for pipeline assurance using both theoretical simulation and experimental...
Transmission through infectious aerosols is a well-recognised route of infection for a number of diseases including TB, measles, SARS and influenza. Despite evidence for airborne...
High pressure gas atomization (HPGA) is a commercial process for the manufacture of metal powders in which supersonic gas jets are used to disrupt a...
This project will combine Large-Eddy Simulations (LES) with the time-resolved high-speed Particle-Image Velocimetry (PIV) of turbulent flows in a reciprocating internal combustion engine. While it...
Understanding and forecasting airflow in enclosed/indoor environments is of great interest due to its close relationship to occupant’s safety, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency. Optimally...

The technical challenges associated with droplets depositing and spreading on oily-soft surfaces is of significant interest to many industries including printing, paint and agriculture. However,...
Wastewater treatment processes have high energy-costs and are challenging to optimise due to the complex coupled processes occurring. In England and Wales over 10 billion...
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...
The decarbonisation of heat will be a critical part of the UK’s plans to meet the 80% CO2 reduction targets set out in the UK...
