Applied and Computational Mathematics Research Group
Our research in the area of applied and computational mathematics is informed by problems at the interface with physical sciences, biological sciences and engineering and there are many productive interdisciplinary collaborations within Cardiff University and further afield.
Our national and international collaborators include research groups at Imperial, Oxford, Cambridge, Warwick, Swansea, Canberra, Curtin (Perth), Perth, Delft, Northwestern, Ljubljana and Montréal.
The group hosts the Cardiff University Student Chapter of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics and the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (SIAM-IMA Student Chapter) which encompasses postgraduate students and faculty members from across the University who are interested in mathematics or scientific computing and their real-world applications.
The main areas of research within the current group are:
Theoretical and applied fluid mechanics
Free-surface flows, dynamics of liquid films and jets, hydrodynamic stability theory, laminar-turbulent transition mechanisms, boundary-layer and wake flow instabilities, boundary layer flow control, viscoelastic flows, bubble dynamics, constitutive modelling of polymeric liquids.
Mathematics and mechanics of solids
Nonlinear elasticity, contact problems, limit states analysis, constitutive modelling in materials science.
Mathematical biology
The development of mathematical, computational and statistical methods to address biological and medical problems.
Applied analysis
Inverse problems in materials modelling, homogenisation and the mechanics of composites.
Numerical analysis and scientific computing
The development of algorithms for the numerical solution of partial differential applications.
