A Fluctuating Hydrodynamics Model for Multiphase Flows - Dr John Bell
A wide range of mesoscale phenomena, both natural and technological, involve multiphase flows and phase separation. Examples range from fundamental processes (e.g., boiling, droplet nucleation, emulsions, dynamics of thin films and particulate...
State Redistribution For Embedded Boundary Methods - Dr Ann Almgren
Embedded boundary / cut cell methods are one approach to solving the equations for fluid flow in the presence of complex geometries. In the cut cell approach, the boundary of the domain is treated as an interface in a (locally) uniform background...
Towards holistic mathematical models of human fluid physiology and associated diseases - Prof Eleuterio Toro
Abstract In this talk, Prof Toro will present some recent advances in the construction of mathematical models of the global circulation in the entire human body, coupled to a refined description of the cerebrospinal fluid dynamics in the craniospinal...
The technology and commercialisation journey of Evonetix - Matthew Hayes
Evonetix started when a small team of 12 people span out of Cambridge Consultants in 2015, based on an idea that could revolutionise the manufacture of synthetic DNA. The company has since grown to over 100 people, raised more than $45million in capital,...
Mathematical and computational modelling of tropical storms and incipient hurricanes - Prof Rupert Klein
This talk will report on recent research into the atmospheric flow regime near the transition from storms to hurricanes. This regime is characterized by atmospheric vortices with very strongly tilt that are very far from being small perturbations away...
Unmanned Detection & Quantification of Emissions from Industrial Facilities - Iain Cooper
A key focus for energy companies as they embark on their energy transition journey has been to assess their current emissions status, and develop methods by which they can cost-effectively reduce their emissions trends over time. Spun out of Caltech/JPL...
Reflections on the Geodynamo - Prof Peter Davidson
Numerical simulations of the geodynamo are, perhaps, finally beginning to approach a dynamically relevant regime. It seems timely, therefore, to compare the results of those simulations with the various conceptual cartoons of the geodynamo that have...
