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 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 of the Earth’s...
Convection-driven flows influenced by rotation are ubiquitous in planetary interiors, including the liquid cores of terrestrial bodies, the outer regions of gas giants and the...
This project will contribute to the development of a revolutionary new cloud model, MPIC (Moist Parcel-In-Cell), for the simulation of convective precipitation and cloud-climate feedbacks....
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....
The Wetropolis flood demonstrator [1] is a portable set-up designed to provide the general public a visualisation of what a return period is for extreme rainfall and...
Have you ever felt uncomfortable or suffocated in crowds in a shopping mall? Do you know how fast an airborne contagious disease can spread in...
Various micro/nano-patterned superhydrophobic surfaces have proved effective in significantly reducing the frictional loss on solid boundaries, thanks to providing stable Cassie wetting conditions in which...
The design of hydraulic infrastructure and in particular reservoir spillways is an area of significant importance from a safety and economic perspective (consider recent failure incidents at Toddbook,...
The project will combine accurate experimental work in a brand new laboratory with modelling using the state-of-the-art finite element software. The newly equipped lab will form part of UKAEA's new...
Impinging jets are used in a wide range of process engineering applications; such as tunnelling operations, paint spraying and cavitation drilling. Liquid jets are also used...
