Graphics Visualisation and Modelling of 3D Datasets
Overview Scientific simulations and instruments like MRI or CT-scans produce nowadays a large amount of data that can be hard for scientists to interpret. The use of advanced Graphics and Visualisation algorithms possibly supported by AI can allow people to get a better understanding of the data. This group is particularly concerned with efficient processing…

Constitutive Modelling of Solid Materials
Overview The constitutive model or material model, which renders the local stress in response to the local strain or strain history, is fundamental to any application of solid mechanics. In the context of computational structural finite element analysis, which is today indispensable tool in the engineering industry, the constitutive model is represented in terms of…

Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction and Applications
Overview Fluid-structure interaction (FSI) is fundamental for many processes and applications in nature, science and engineering. It ensures the functionality of various biomechanical systems and engineering devices including, for instance, the vascular system, hydraulics, aeroplanes, parachutes and the mechanics of diving and swimming. In particular, FSI is exploited in renewable energy technology namely in wave…

Applied Computational Fluid Dynamics and Optimisation for Aerospace
Overview One of the critical modelling tools used across the Aerospace industry is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) which has proved crucial to high performance engineering design. However, CFD can be extremely computationally expensive to run, often making the thousands of simulations necessary for simple automated optimisation processes prohibitive. Within this group, we work on methods…
