Direct simulation of liquid metal nucleate boiling in the presence of magnetic fields

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

Nucleate boiling occurs when a solid surface is heated above an adjacent liquid’s saturation temperature. In this scenario, vapour forms at preferential nucleation sites on the heated surface. Read more

Flight mechanics and stability in birds during extreme manoeuvres of take-off and landing

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

During take-off birds accelerate primarily through from the ground reaction force, with aerodynamics playing a lesser role. In landing things are quite different; birds use mainly aerodynamic drag on the wings to decelerate, with the legs bringing them finally to rest after touchdown. Read more
