Minimal mathematical models for dynamical systems with abrupt events

Massey University School of Mathematical and Computational Sciences

Tipping points and other critical changes are often explored by first reducing a mathematical model to a simpler form. However, for dynamical systems with abrupt events such forms often miss important features. Read more

An experimental 3D volumetric study of train aerodynamics

University of Birmingham Department of Mechanical Engineering

The aerodynamic slipstream created as a high-speed passenger train moves through the air is highly turbulent in nature. In particular the wake region is known to contain a series of helical vortices, which spread laterally into the far wake region, potentially affecting the stability of trackside workers. Read more

Differential equation modelling to address male infertility

University of Birmingham School of Mathematics

Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples, is emotionally devastating, and requires expensive and invasive treatments. Importantly, we place a significant and unequal burden on women, who often require risk-bearing procedures to address what is caused by, in 50% of cases, a male factor. Read more

Mathematical and computational modelling of diffusion-driven material ageing

The University of Manchester Department of Mathematics

This project will consider systems of reaction-advection-diffusion equations both computationally and analytically. These find application to modelling corrosion/ageing in materials, where diffusion of a reactant into the bulk material and its subsequent reaction leads to the growth of unwanted corrosion products.
