An enormous range of Fluid Dynamics research is undertaken at the University of Leeds. These are just a few examples of some of this research...
MDO and Robust Optimisation of High Pressure Turbine Components
The requirement for ever more efficient gas turbine engines is leading to increased gas path temperatures, creating increasingly hostile environmental conditions for the adjacent turbomachinery and support structures…
Refresh: Remodelling Building Design Sustainability from a Human Centred Approach
Over 40% of the UK population live their working lives carrying out knowledge work in offices – enclosed spaces in the built environment. Current building codes are primarily defined around the performance of the physical infrastructure rather than capturing the performance of a person in a building in a city…
Coriolis and Rotational Effects on Stratified Turbulence (CREST)
Dense buoyancy driven flows in channels are the main transport pathway between shallow slope regions and the deep sea. In higher latitudes these stratified flows are known to be strongly affected by Coriolis forces, however, the influence of these rotational forces on turbulent energy production and dissipation, shear stress distribution, and entrainment is largely unknown…
Decommissioning, Immobilisation and Storage Solutions for Nuclear Waste Inventories (DISTINCTIVE)
This consortium project addresses nuclear waste and decommissioning, bringing together industry partners and academic researchers from ten leading universities…
GENESIS: Triggering of Convection (ParaCon programme)
The GENESIS project aims to develop a new set of equations to describe the early stages of development of convective clouds…
Waves in the Earth’s Core
The Earth’s magnetic field is now continuously monitored from space by a swarm of satellites, and more data has been gathered from magnetic observatories in the past. Since the Earth’s magnetic field is generated in the fluid outer core of the Earth, by looking for the wave components in the magnetic data we can potentially discover information about the nature of the inside of the Earth…
Future Liquid Metal Engineering Hub
The mission of the Hub is to be an international leader in liquid metal engineering, involving fundamental and applied research from nucleation centred solidification science through to sustainable metal processing technologies…
Fluid Dynamics of the Continuous Casting of Steel
A collaboration between the Materials Processing Institute at Middlesbrough and the University of Leeds has been set up to study the fluid processes involved in steel manufacturing…
EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Fluid Dynamics Publications
A list of published research from the students studying at the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Fluid Dynamics at Leeds…
