Topics
I am interested in supervising PhD projects primarily in Large Eddy Simulation (LES) of complex flows including Aeroacoustics, Aerospace, Electronics Cooling, Urban and Geothermal Energy flows. Modern High Performance Computing (HPC) architectures are being leveraged for both simulation and analysis of large data sets (Big Data), revealing unsteady flow physics. Further interests include increasing CFD automation, including mesh generation and optimisation, solution analysis and feedback into knowledge-based systems using Machine Learning and AI.
For Chinese applicants, Brunel also has 20 PhD scholarships available. Please get in touch to discuss potential projects.
A range of self-funded projects are also possible, focusing on multi-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
