Understanding the effect of airflow in enclosed/indoor environments is of great interest due to its close relationship to occupant’s health, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency....
This project would first require the student to become familiar with some simple concepts and techniques in Scientific Machine Learning (SML) and in algorithmic differentiation...
This project will use the Ellipsoidal Parcel-in-Cell (EPIC) model to study the fluid dynamics of density currents (also known as gravity currents). EPIC provides a...
Computer hardware is changing noticeably at the fundamental, computer arithmetic level in the last decade. Graphical processing units (GPUs) and some CPUs increasingly started introducing...
This project involves the investigation of the mechanisms that lead to reversals of the Earth’s magnetic field. As shown in the figure below, the polarity...

The water sector is facing crucial challenges because of climate change and population growth, compromising serviceability. The demand for water and energy is expected to...
This project aims to develop cutting edge numerical methods for optimisation of design and control in fluid-structure interaction systems, with application to understanding of C....
In August 2013, preliminary tests were undertaken in which a working proof-of-principle was established of the novel wave-energy device, in a 1.2m by 0.2m x...
This project seeks to overcome current obstacles to predictive modelling of nucleate boiling in droplets impacting on realistic non-uniform heated surfaces. The key development will...
