Our research projects on plasma arc interaction with aerospace composites, ultrasonic excitation of substrates and laser melt of titanium powders have been highlighted in a recent article on the University’s strategic partnership with Boeing https://lnkd.in/e9HmR5xz The projects were led in our group by Stephen Millmore who has worked over a period of 12 years with the […]
Presentations at 3rd HPC Fusion Workshop
Our PhD students Maria Chrysanthou and Alexander Farmakalides have given presentations at the 3rd HPC Fusion Workshop on “Mathematical and computational assimilation for plasma boundary physics for integrated fusion reactor simulations” and “A Computational Multi-physics Approach for Whole System Fusion Reactor Simulations“. The snapshots show Maria’s stability analysis results of a perturbed cylindrical plasma tube […]
Featured article on Physics of Fluids
Delighted to see the paper by Muir and Nikiforakis on “Numerical modelling of imposed magnetohydrodynamic effects in hypersonic flows” appear as a Featured article on Physics of Fluids. The work contributes to research on how weakly ionised plasmas can be actively manipulated via imposed magnetic fields – a concept termed magnetohydrodynamic flow control. This allows […]
A new approach to model phase transitions in multi-material problems.
Our latest work on a multiphysics model facilitating elastoplastic solids, gases, cavitating liquids and reactive materials, has appeared in the Int. J. of Multiphase Flow, see Wilkinson, Barton and Nikiforakis https://lnkd.in/d4B_r8g8
MultiMat 2022
Strong presence of our group at MultiMat 2022, the 10th International Conference on Numerical Methods for Multi-Material Fluid Flow, presenting our research on fusion reactor simulations, condensed phase explosives, lightning strike on aerospace materials and multiphase flows around compex geometries. Congratulations to Remi Abgrall and Elena Gaburro for the excellent organisation. https://lnkd.in/eUmZKdtn
