Coarse-grid CFD for nuclear thermal hydraulics modelling
EPSRC ICASE PhD studentship with Westinghouse, University of Sheffield. Read more
Engineering Doctorate (EngD): Predicting Performance of Intensified Carbon Capture Inside Rotating Packed Beds using CFD Modelling
Impact of the project. You will help to make CO2 capture both cheaper and more compact, meaning that it can be fitted on equipment which cannot be decarbonised by other means. Read more
CFD Modelling of the Fire Safety of the Future Hydrogen Vehicles
Hydrogen and its derivatives are the key component in decarbonisation of transportation sector. In the future, vehicle technology will see great shifts from the convention-based power system hydrogen-based systems, e.g., hydrogen engines and/or full cells. Read more
High fidelity CFD modelling of dense reactive particle flows
Dense particle flows are frequently appeared in many industrial applications including fluidized bed in pharmaceutical reactors and modern recycling of plastic wastes into precious materials such as jet fuels, and reusable polymers. Read more
Advanced Computational Study of Swirling Flow in a 3D Lined Duct
Project description. Supervisors. Dr Zahir Hussain and Prof. Nigel Peake (Cambridge), Dr Tao Zhang, Dr David Adlam, Mr Piyal Samara-Ratna (Leicester). Read more
AI-Based Acceleration of Computational Fluid Dynamics for Automotive Applications
CFD is at the core of the design process for aerospace and automotive as it is used to reduce drag and hence CO2 emissions. However, CFD prediction of industrial applications require large amounts of computational resource and is both time-consuming and expensive. Read more
Safety of hydrogen and natural gas blends
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Safe handling of hydrogen and hydrogen natural gas blends requires an understanding of hazards and associated risks arising from leaks. Read more
Modelling heat and mass transfer during liquid hydrogen refuelling
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Liquified hydrogen (LH2) is considered as the most practical storage method onboard heavy duty vehicles (HDV), trains, ships and planes in case of long distances. Read more
Safety of compressed hydrogen storage systems for maritime applications
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Early rollout of maritime hydrogen-fuelled transport is taking place in the form of relatively small-scale applications and demonstration projects – service vessels, pilot boats, short-range costal ferries, etc., where hydrogen is expected to be stored in composite high-pressure tanks with nominal working pressure NWP350-700 bar.

Development of simulation technologies for hydrogen production with carbon capture
Overall aim of the proposed work would be to develop simulation technologies for methane pyrolysis for hydrogen production under catalytic conditions with the objective of developing process to scale equipment designs to achieve CO2 free hydrogen generation. Read more
Multi-physics fully coupled model developments and assessments of floating offshore wind turbines
In response to the energy crisis and climate change, the UK government has raised the target capacity of offshore wind energy from the existing 12.7GW in 2022 to an ambitious 50GW by 2030, including an extra 5GW of floating wind turbines [1]. Read more
Fire Dynamics, Material Flammabillity, Computer Modelling of Fire Phenomena
Research Group:
Architecture, Built Environment and Planning
Fire dynamics and material flammability are important research areas within the fire safety engineering (FSE) in identifying and understanding the mechanisms… Read more
Toward Easy Parallel Programming for Computational Fluid Dynamics
Research Group:
School of Computing
Computational scientists are typically not expert programmers and thus have to work with easy to use programming languages. However, they have very high-performance requirements due to their experimental setup and large datasets and have to rely on parallel computing machines for tasks like simulation runs. Read more
Multifidelity models for uncertainty quantification, optimization and prediction in turbulent flows
Obtaining high-fidelity accurate data for turbulent flows using numerical simulations and laboratory experiments is challenging considering the cost and technical restrictions. Read more
