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.
Modelling filaments produced by magnetically confined plasmas
Heat and mass loss at the edge of magnetically confined plasmas is seen to be associated with the intermittent ejection of filaments of denser and...
Measuring multiphase impinging liquid jets for particle bed re-suspension with ultrasonic profilers
Desired Impinging jets are used in a wide range of process engineering applications such as tunnelling operations, paint spraying and cavitation drilling. Liquid jets are...
Flow-substrate interactions in geophysical flows
On earth, and every solid planetary body studied in this solar system, geophysical flows sculpt the landscape in environments including rivers, glaciers, deserts, deltas, shallow...
Dilute suspensions of non-spherical particles in fluid flow
Non-spherical particles in fluid flows are encountered in both natural and industrial environments. The relevance of non-spherical particles to the flow properties of complex fluids...
Hydrodynamically and ecologically-driven design of weirs, hydropower plants and fish passes
Historically, weirs were used to control the water level of rivers to facilitate navigation, permit extraction, prevent sea water intrusion or to power watermills. In...
