Mathematical modelling of dynamics of a cloud of microbubbles for October 2023 entry
Cavitation typically takes place in a cloud of a billion microbubbles, which usually take spherical shapes due to strong surface tension. Read more
Project title: Mathematical modelling for dynamics of encapsulated microbubbles for October 2023 entry
Background to the Project. Cancer drugs are usually toxic and kill both cancer cells and healthy ones, but typically less than 0.5% of the drug dose reaches cancer cells. Read more
Mathematical modelling of cavitation development for October 2023 entry
Background to the Project. Cavitation generation has been much of a mystery for more than a century. A core unresolved challenge is how bubble growth subject to acoustic forcing occurs over millions of cycles of oscillation, which cannot be simulated by any CFD packages. Read more
Experimental study on flame instability of zero-carbon fuels
This project is sponsored by the UK Engineering and Physical Science Research Council, and it is part of the EPSRC’s portfolio for sustainable energy including hydrogen and bioenergy. Read more
Born Slippy: Understanding the tribological mechanisms of fertility treatments and their impact on conception
Infertility affects 186M women in the developed world, with approximately 55M attributed to tubal patency - this is a big problem! Hysterosalpingography or HSG is a diagnostic procedure that is also an effective treatment for tubal problems. Read more
Flow dynamics of industrially relevant two-phase particle-liquid suspensions
Funding is available to fully support a PhD research student (including university tuition fees and salary tax free). The candidate must be a UK citizen and should have at least a strong upper second-class (2.1) degree in chemical engineering or related discipline such as mechanical engineering, maths and physics.

Experimental system for planning and evaluating cardiac surgery
The aim of the project is to design and develop an effective experimental system for planning of cardiac surgery, with a focus on planning for mitral heart valve surgery. Read more
Computational Fluid Dynamics of blood: multi-scale and multi-phase
The focus of this project is the application of multi-phase rheological models to blood modelling. Very specifically, an MKM5 Eulerian-Eulerian rheological model, with a Lagrangian discrete phase of particle seeded in this bulk flow. Read more
Sustainable mitigation of windblown sand in desert
Desert is normally covered by sand dunes that are metastable in nature. Due to the aeolian-led migration by strong wind, these sand dunes inundate the existing infrastructure including National Highways, Railways, Airstrips, Solar parks, Defence structures, etc. Read more
Net-Zero: Hydrogen Powertrain Systems
Brief Description. In line with the net-zero agenda, hydrogen (H2) is considered as a viable zero-carbon energy carrier for internal combustion engines (ICEs) used in medium/heavy-duty mobile applications with high machine mass, daily hours, and duty factor. Read more
Computational modelling and risk assessment of heavy rainfall impacts on transport infrastructure
Description of the project. This highly exciting project help to address one of the most challenging engineering problems – adapting to climate change, and help the student to learning highly sought-after skills and knowledge for a wide range of career paths. Read more
Understanding of bubble-particle interactions in froth flotation: novel applications in recycling and minerals processing
Pioneered by the minerals industry, froth flotation is an established method of separating minerals in a slurry based on the relative hydrophobicity of the particles. Read more
