Implications of Arctic heat waves and fires on vegetation and the carbon budget - SENSE CDT
The Arctic has seen extreme heat and fire events. This project investigates the link between heat, drought, fire and carbon release, at present and what this means for the future. Read more
Methods and tools for the simulation and design of geothermal heat exchangers
Geothermal systems are playing an increasingly important role in ongoing worldwide efforts to develop environmentally friendly, sustainable, and efficient ways of fulfilling space heating and cooling demands. Read more
Investigation of convective and conjugate heat transfer for different jet configurations using Direct Numerical Simulations
In this project, we propose to conduct Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) of hot jets in turbulent flows, including channel cross flow at different friction Reynolds numbers and impinging jets, using different thermal wall boundary conditions along with conjugate heat transfer (CHT) wall boundary condition.

Temperature and heat stress in tropical forests - SENSE CDT
Background & Motivation. Temperature shifts as a result of climate change and deforestation are set to increase the risk of heat stress in many tropical forests[1]. Read more
Mass and Heat Transfer in Energetic Ocean Surface Waves
Summary. Ocean surface waves are crucial in engineering and environmental sciences. Energetic breaking waves can damage or even destroy seawalls, ships, oil/gas platforms and marine renewable energy infrastructure. Read more
Numerical investigation of conjugate heat transfer during interaction of high-Hydrogen content flames with cooled walls using Direct Numerical Simulations
Wall-bounded turbulent flows have been studied extensively under isothermal conditions and principally from the point of view of drag reduction. Read more
Understanding the ecological and evolutionary effects of heatwaves in tropical species and ecological communities
Heatwaves are considered one of the most threatening processes for our plants and animal species as the Earth’s climate warms. There is much to understand about how our species and the ecological communities they form will change and adapt through heatwaves. Read more
Heat transfer in liquid spraying systems
Applications are invited for a full time PhD scholarship funded by Brunel University London. The studentship is for a period of 3 years starting in January 2024. . Read more
Project Title – Multi-material metal 3D Printing for compact, lightweight heat exchangers for high power thermal management (Studentship 2)
. Supervisors. Dr. Luke Parry, Dr. Vitor Marques (Industrial Supervisor). About the Project. Read more
Optimising Work and Heat Exchange Networks Towards Improved Energy Efficiency Processes
Work and heat exchange networks (WHENs) have become increasingly important for industrial processes in the past few years. Read more
Desalination with low temperature heat
Climate change is already exacerbating water scarcity bringing uncertainty in the future of the water availability vs. abstraction (water stress), especially in delicate eco-systems. Read more
Human physiological, biochemical, and cognitive responses to repeated daily occupational heat exposure
Introduction. This PhD project is part of the Cotutelle arrangement between Coventry University, UK and Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia. Read more
FunPrint: Recipes for Functional 3D Printable resins for heat transfer
Many applications require cooling to function correctly. Read more
The Impact of Heat Stress on Human Health, Performance, and Function across the Lifecourse
The interaction between climate change, ageing, and sedentary behaviour mean the elderly are a highly vulnerable cohort for heat-related illness. Read more
