Compressible Turbulent Mixing

A fundamental understanding of compressible turbulent mixing is critical to advancing technologies in aeronautical, automotive, clean energy and acoustics. This project aims to deve more...

Supervisor(s): Thornber, Ben (Dr)

Turbulent mixing in stably stratified flow: a laboratory and field based study

In stably stratified shear flows, turbulent mixing is suppressed by the background stratification. This project will examine this dynamic using laboratory experiments and field meas more...

Supervisor(s): Williamson, Nicholas (Dr), Armfield, Steven (Professor)

Turbulent transport of algae in stably stratified rivers: a computational fluid dynamics study

In stably stratified shear flows, turbulent mixing is suppressed by the background stratification. In rivers, these conditions allow buoyant cyanobacteria to float to the surface an more...

Dynamic X-ray analysis of fibre reinforced concrete composites: from pouring to ultimate loads

The entire life cycle of a concrete member will be studied using dynamic X-ray tomography. This project will investigate the influence of mixing and pouring on the load carrying cap more...

Understanding the growth of hydrodynamic instabilities in Inertial Confinement Fusion

The National Ignition Facility (NIF) in the USA has managed to achieve a fusion fuel gain of 1 in landmark experiments. However, the targeted gain is substantially higher than this more...

Nanostructured Electrolytes and Ionogels

Ionic liquids (ILs) are salts that melt below or near room temperature due to frustration of the coulomb forces that stabilise the crystals, and can act as non-volatile solvents for more...

Dissipative pressure waves and the mechanics of granular materials

This project will experimentally investigate damage zones around seismogenic faults. This will be achieved through examining a novel basic mechanism for instability in solids: volum more...

A complete solution of the internal erosion problem for granular media

One of the most common mechanisms for the failure of Earth structures is via internal erosion, where fine particles are washed out of the material by the action of water. This proje more...

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling of gas-liquid two phase flow in bubble columns, photo-reactors and membrane bioreactors

The project aims to extend existing modelling techniques that have been applied to bubble column bioreactors used for fermentation processes to the study of photo-bioreactors used i more...
