Nonlinear Aerostructural Optimisation of Boundary Layer Ingesting Fan

Supervisory Team. Prof. Ali Elham, Dr. Jie Yuan. Project description. To meet the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement, aviation (~3% of human global CO2 emissions) must do its share. Read more

Climate-Optimised Aircraft Design

Supervisory Team: Edward Richardson; Ali Elham. Project description. The condensation trail (contrail) emissions of future low-CO2 aircraft will be assessed as part of a climate-optimised aircraft design methodology. Read more

Efficient Cryostasis for Transport of Liquid Hydrogen

Supervisory Team: Edward Richardson; Stephen Turnock. Project description. Liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage and transport enables flexible exploitation of potentially carbon-free energy. Read more

Improving technical efficiency in Rowing

Supervisory Team:  Dr Joseph Banks, Dr Dominic Taunton, Prof Stephen Turnock. Project description.  The sport of Rowing presents the engineer with a complex multi-physics challenge where marginal performance gains can make the difference between success and failure. Read more
