Overview
Research interests
My research interests are in non-Newtonian fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics and involves the mathematical modelling of complex fluids and the development of computational techniques for predicting complex flows. My research has been funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council since 1985 and I have also received funding from the Leverhulme Trust, the Royal Society, EU and Industry. My most recent substantial EPSRC grant was a Portfolio Partnership Award in the area of Complex Fluids and Complex Flows in collaboration with the School of Engineering at Swansea. This award allowed me to develop mathematical modelling and numerical simulation tools for applications including lubrication and cavitation bubble dynamics. I am currently participating in the UK Consortium on Mesoscale Engineering Sciences (UKCOMES) funded by EPSRC.
My most recent work has been concerned with the development of mathematical models for compressible viscoelastic fluids. This has required an understanding of thermodynamics of complex systems. I also work on the immersed boundary method for fluid-structure interaction problems, numerical methods for multiphase flows, biomedical applications of bubble dynamics, modelling of groundwater flow using stochastic finite elements, proper generalized decomposition for elliptic systems and a range of numerical techniques for solving the Fokker-Planck equation. I have a particular interest in spectral element methods and the lattice Boltzmann method.
