This project will investigate the use of CFD-Discrete Particle Methods to investigate the improved prediction of erosion in slurry pumps. Read more
EPSRC DTP studentship in free surface flow-structure interaction of wood pieces placed over a mobile sediment bed for natural flood management
EPSRC funded project 3.5 years full time starting October 2022. Summary. Nature based solutions for natural flood management have gained popularity as a method to provide floodwater retention and ecological benefits associated with naturally occurring instream wood formations. Read more
Analysis of the effect of Natural Flood Management measures in water levels
Experimental and numerical analysis of the effect of Natural Flood Management measures in water levels and validation for 2D/3D applicability. Read more
Thermo-Fluids Optimization Research for Clean Energy (T-FORCE)
Funded PhD position in Sustainable Energy. Position Description. The School of Sustainable Energy Engineering (SEE) is now accepting applications for an exciting opportunity to pursue a PhD. Read more
GREENCDT Hydro-geochemical evolution of bentonite buffer during infiltration of saline groundwater in a generic LSSR repository
Engineered barrier system (EBS) plays a critical role in the safety of geological disposal concepts. Bentonite is a candidate buffer/backfill material, which provides key functions within EBS. Read more
Exploring the interaction between light intensity and rootzone water deficit stress as a means of improving berry phytonutrient content and Class 1 strawberry yields in TCEA systems
Mark Else (NIAB EMR), Paul Hadley and Carrie Twitchen (University of Reading). Total environment-controlled agriculture (TCEA) systems offer great potential for a consistent supply of high quality and phytonutritious strawberries, provided that initial plant quality is high and growing conditions are fully optimised.

Analysing coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical behaviour of geothermal reservoirs with fault reactivation”
Applications are invited for our EPSRC funded Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) PhD studentships that will support six (6) research projects starting 1 October 2022. Read more
Hydro-geochemical evolution of clay-based barriers during infiltration of saline groundwater
Deep geological disposal concepts are preferred solutions for the long-term management of high- level radioactive waste (or higher activity waste) in many countries. Read more
Electric Motor Torque Estimation
Knowing the torque produced by an electric motor is essential in a wide range of applications. In electric vehicles it is important to deliver the torque requested by the driver, and it becomes very important for good drivability when blending regenerative braking torque with the hydraulic brakes.

Bio-inspired miniaturized light weight autonomous underwater vehicles and Manipulators for Sea Ocean Environments
Research Group:
Intelligent Systems and Nanoscience
Autonomous manipulation of objects underwater by robots is a challenging problem with regard to reliable perception and localization of objects, precise… Read more
Hydrodynamics of Billfish Skin Surface Roughness
The aim of this project is to investigate the hydrodynamics of surface roughness patterns which are modelled on the skin of billfish (e.g. Read more
Predicting impact of climatic warming and its remediation on both discharge and aquatic carbon flux from an upland peat catchment
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Climatic warming has more pronounced impacts in upland areas and these areas are important for water collection, flood control and carbon storage. Remediation and adaptation measures have been developed for impacts on each of these but there is a requirement to assess interaction of these measures to maximise their overall benefit. Read more
