Institute for Multiscale Thermofluids

Research within the Institute for Multiscale Thermofluids (IMT) spans the range of length and time scales from angstroms to metres, and from femtoseconds to minutes.

Research themes

Multiphase flows, interfaces and phase change from nano- to macro-scales
Multiphase, interfacial and chemically reacting flows at the macro-scale
Non-continuum and non-equilibrium fluid mechanics
