Uncovering the thinking skills that facilitate fraction learning (Ref: LN/RAM-SF1/2027)

Rational number learning is challenging for most students. Thus, there is an emerging interest in the skills that could act as conceptual scaffolds to support it. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] Geophysical fluid mechanics: Modelling debris flows

Debris flows are complex mixtures of water, boulders, rock, soil, wood, etc, that develop on steep slopes and travel long distances, destroying houses, roads, railways and other infrastructure, as well as killing people that are caught up in them. Read more

[School of Natural Sciences PhD Scholarships] The influence of nonlinear behaviour between different models of fluid flows

Many problems in fluid mechanics can be investigated by using reduced models. In recent years, the trend has been to use neural networks or other model reduction techniques to learn solutions from high-resolution computations of the full-field equations, e.g. Read more
