Objective:

To develop new mathematical methods, robust numerical schemes and software to solve complex and large-scale challenging real-life problems on massively parallel computers.

Description:

We analyse modern numerical methods such as advanced Finite Element (AFE) and Finite Volume (FV) techniques applied to stationary and time-dependent problems. In addition, we develop new meshless multi- scale methods such as Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) or Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) applied to complex fluids and mesoscopic flow problems.

Applications:

Characterisation of the Earth’s subsurface composition for CO2 - sequestration and oil or gas extraction; dynamics of complex particulate fluids, microfluidics, rheology; CFD applied to complex flows that rise in a number of engineering sectors including environmental, chemical/manufacturing, polymer/ food processing and biomedicine.
