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.
Immersed Computing, from data to fluid flows
The majority of energy consumed by the electromechanical and digital infrastructure that makes up the Internet is converted in to heat. Effective removal of this...
Multi-physics modelling of deposition and coating of fluids onto flexible substrates
This is a combined experimental and flow modelling study of the deposition of fluids onto flexible substrates. It is in collaboration with Coty Ltd, a...
Preventing aircraft wing surface contamination using liquid films
Next generation Airbus aircraft are likely to utilise natural laminar flow (NLF) wing designs which can significantly reduce skin friction drag and therefore fuel burn....
Modelling turbulent mixing layers with multifluid subgrid physics
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...
Kinematics of Settling and Flocculating Suspensions
Particles in suspension may agglomerate to form large flocs. These flocs may have different settling velocities than their parent particle, and thus significantly effect particle...
Challenges for Inkjet Technology: Dynamic Surface Tension
Inkjet printing requires the precise generation and deposition of very small drops of liquid. It is widely used in graphical printing and is rapidly developing...
Boundary layer dynamics in planetary mantles: the effect of realistic rheology
Convection in rocky or icy planetary mantles controls the long-term evolution of the terrestrial planets and many of the moons in the solar system. The...
A new computational flow foundation for satellite measurement of river flow
Long term reliable measurement of river flows is crucial for water resource and flood management. Historically, flows are derived from measured water levels at a...
Real time dynamic simulation of indoor environment
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...
