Water-Energy Nexus in Air Entrained Pressurised Pipelines and Air Control/Removal Strategies
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...
The future of the jet stream and role for extreme European weather
Most winter weather extremes in the UK and Europe are driven by the North Atlantic jet stream – a belt of strong winds encircling the...
Surrogate-based optimisation for fluid dynamic (FSI) systems" in the theme "underpinning methods in fluid dynamics
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....
Rock vapor dynamics in the envelopes of young exoplanets
We now know that while most stars host planets, their planetary systems are quite unlike our own and their formation histories were likely different to...
Real-time control and validation of a novel rogue wave-energy device
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...
Rapid haemodynamic analysis of native and prosthetic heart valves using physics-informed machine learning
The project aims to create rapid and scalable deep learning-based simulation techniques for fluid-structure interaction analysis of native and prosthetic aortic valves. Such tools can...
Predictive modelling of nucleate boiling in impacting droplets for high heat flux spray cooling applications
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...
Predicting settling behaviour of asymmetric particle using image analysis and machine learning
Predicting Friction of Total Joint Replacement Bearings
Total joint replacements and the associated orthopaedic technologies are a significant contributor to the needs of a healthy nation and are expected to grow in...
