Simulation of Particle-laden Flows

The team specialises in studying particle-laden flows, essentially particles suspended in fluids commonly found in various industries and everyday situations. These systems are prevalent in different fields, such as the coating process for printable electronics and photovoltaics, the preparation of electrode and membrane materials used in electrolysers or fuel cells, and numerous biological, food, and pharmaceutical systems.

All these applications have in common the unique and complex characteristics of particle-laden flows, which include dynamical and rheological phase transitions and intricate structural interplays involving many-body interactions, making them analytically challenging to solve.
