Research on the fluid mechanics of suspensions of rigid and flexible particles in fluids

Experimental and computational work plus theoretical modelling (where possible) to predict the flow properties of  materials more...

Supervisor(s): Tanner, Roger (Professor)

Crushable granular flows

In both earthquakes and landslides, grains are often crushed during flow. This changes the flowing behaviour, and causes the flow to accelerate. This project will develop an experim more...

Levee formation in debris flows and avalanches

Levees are a feature of many gravity current flows, yet their formation is not fully understood. This project will track their formation in laboratory scale experiments, and develop more...

The modes of granular segregation

Granular segregation will be studied using dynamic X-ray tomography. This will be a pioneering study into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the phenomenon of segregation. more...

Fluorescent sensing of labile metal pools

Metals play an important role in biology, but there are only limited tools to study their functions and interactions. In this project we will develop new fluorescent tools to study more...

High frequency radar acoustic sounding for detection of air turbulence

Tracking an acoustic pulse relies on well behaved air flow, hence the short range RASS could be used to identify turbulence in front of UAVs and other relatively slow moving aerial more...

Population dispersal and genetic diversity of Australian crocodiles

This project focuses on investigating the population structure and dispersal of freshwater and saltwater crocodiles using genetic and genomic tools. more...

Modelling the ionic composition of streams for improved management of salinity

Stream salinity is a major environmental problem in Australia however much of the existing research is based on measurements of stream electrical conductivity (EC) which provides li more...
