THEME - Digital Worlds & Disruptive Technologies

Project Description

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a key element of modern engineering R&D and of digital engineering processes in Industry4.0. In a CFD code, the fundamental equations of fluid flow are discretised and solved numerically; this process of discretisation involves splitting the domain of interest into subdomains called cells, which make up the mesh covering the domain. The process of creating this mesh, referred to as meshing, is one of the most critical steps in the CFD workflow, as the quality of the numerical solution (and sometimes even the ability of the CFD code to find a solution) can be very strongly dependent on the quality of the mesh. At the same time, the meshing process itself is complex and often involves considerable human time and expertise to accomplish. Automated meshing programmes (such as snappyHexMesh, sHM, from the OpenFOAM suite of CFD codes) have been developed, but these simply automate the construction of the mesh from a large number of input parameters; finding the correct inputs is still complex and (human-)time consuming.

From £19237 per annum plus travel funds of £15000 and RTSG of £10715
