PhD Research Studentships
Tuning Structure and Flow of Soft (Active) Matter in Porous Media for Energy Engineering Applications
Supervisor: | Edo BOEK |
Apply by: | 28 February 2018 |
Description
For this purpose, we will develop and use state-of-the-art experimental techniques including micro-fluidics, microscopy, rheology and X-ray micro-tomography. In parallel, we will extend our computational capabililties by further developing cutting-edge particle-based hydrodynamic simulations, including Lattice-Boltzmann (on both GPU and CPU), Molecular Dynamics, and Multi-Particle Collision Dynamics. The research may be carried out with co-workers at the University of Cambridge, see [3].
