RESEARCH

Our research group is interested in in a broad range of fluid dynamical challenges from water purification strategies to the manufacture of glass for computer tablet screens. Our approach is to use a blend of modelling, asymptotic, and numerical techniques to enable predictions to be made for the behaviour of such physical systems, and in particular, to give insight into their optimal operating strategies.
