An experimental 3D volumetric study of train aerodynamics

University of Birmingham Department of Mechanical Engineering

The aerodynamic slipstream created as a high-speed passenger train moves through the air is highly turbulent in nature. In particular the wake region is known to contain a series of helical vortices, which spread laterally into the far wake region, potentially affecting the stability of trackside workers. Read more

Differential equation modelling to address male infertility

University of Birmingham School of Mathematics

Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples, is emotionally devastating, and requires expensive and invasive treatments. Importantly, we place a significant and unequal burden on women, who often require risk-bearing procedures to address what is caused by, in 50% of cases, a male factor. Read more

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
