WHAT WE DO
The group is characterised by a multi-scale philosophy: the application of multiple complementary approaches to a given system to enable exploration of a broad range of scales from the single particle to the bulk material. The group also actively research multi-phase systems in which one or more fluids must be considered to fully understand the system’s behaviour.
The research activities of the group may be divided into the following broad themes
- Particle Technology for Industrial Manufacturing
- Soil mechanics and geotechnical engineering
- Rheology of dense suspensions and granular systems
- Development of granular simulation tools
- Physical testing/imaging of laboratory-scale systems
