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.

Machine Learning approaches to improve the efficiency of fluid dynamics simulations

The University of Manchester Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering

OpenFOAM and CFD simulations are often computational expensive both in terms of resources and time. CFD codes often use explicit methods that require small time steps of the order of micro-nano seconds. Read more

Supervisor: Dr A Harish

30 June 2024 PhD Research Project Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)
