Research & Academic Work

High-fidelity methods for fluids, heat, and structure.

A decade of academic work in computational mechanics — building the numerical methods and solvers that underpin high-fidelity simulation.

Numerical methods & high-order solvers

High-order discretisations and finite-difference solvers for accuracy-critical simulation.

Fluid–structure interaction

Coupled fluid–solid modelling for problems where flow and structure shape each other.

Heat transfer & thermoregulation

Conjugate heat transfer and biofluid thermoregulation, from equipment to living systems.

Lattice Boltzmann methods

Parallelised turbulent LBM for high-fidelity flow on large computational grids.

Shape & aerodynamic optimisation

Adjoint-based optimisation of geometry for performance under fluid loads.
