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.
Nature and industry abound with examples of highly porous, fibrous materials embedded in a viscous fluid. Examples include the cellular cytoskeleton, scaffolds for tissue engineering,...
Direct numerical simulation coupled to an interface tracking technique, for small numbers of particles, and Lagrangian particle tracking, for more realistic numbers of particles, will...
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...
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...
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...
