Simulation of dense suspensions with discrete element method and a coupled lattice Boltzmann method |
Dr. Jin Sun
|
Infrastructure and Environment |
Suspensions, mixtures of a fluid and particles, are widespread in nature and industry. However, many open questions, such as the particle interactions in dense suspensions, have not been answered [1].

Signal Processing in the Information Age |
Prof Michael E Davies
|
Imaging, Data and Communications |
The aim of the UDRC is to develop unprecedented research in signal processing with application to the defence industry and share knowledge, promote communications, guidance and training. The formation of consortia will bring together researchers from across the different aspects of signal processing to address the research challenges of operating in a networked battlespace. This will form part of a wider collaborative centre of excellence for signal processing that embraces academia, Research and Technology Organisations, defence manufacturing industries and the Defence Technology Centres. This collaboration will support a cutting edge signal and data processing capability in the UK, and lead to potentially greater research impact.

Development and use of an advanced ZVI nanomaterial for water treatment applications |
Dr Andrea Joana Correia Semiao, Dr Blanca Antizar-Ladislao
|
Infrastructure and Environment |
Miss Underwood's doctoral research seeks to develop and test new nano-composite materials for the use in water treatment. She wishes to improve upon the existing nano zero-valent iron technologies as well as to explore how specific nanotechnologies can be applied in an economic and incentivized fashion for successful technological adoption.

Discrete Element Modeling of High-Speed Railway Embankment |
Prof. Xuecheng Bian
|
Infrastructure and Environment |
The aim is to develop a new understanding of the micromechanics of railway trackbed subjected to dynamic loads induced by high speed trains. This should lead to safer design of high-speed railway systems which require less maintenance and, therefore, are more sustainable.

Effect of particle shape, size and particle friction in granular solid flow in railway ballast |
Prof. Xuecheng Bian
|
Infrastructure and Environment |
In the Chinese southeast coastal areas, most of the rail transit infrastructures are built on the soft soil. Infrastructures construction and operation including high speed railway or urban railway system require a good understanding of the behavior of the soft soil subject to the static and dynamic loading induced by the infrastructure.
