Materials modelling and complex flows
We have a strong track record of working with industry working with companies such as ICI, Rolls Royce, Qinetiq, NNL (formerly Nexia), Ansys, Seiko-Epson, ZBD Displays, Unilever and Kodak. All the work undertaken for these companies includes developing new methods to deal with problems which currently lie outside the scope of proprietary software and simulating complex materials and systems using our extant methods.

Research
Our activities in this area encompass a range of modelling research in the process seamlessly crossing temporal, spatial and disciplinary boundaries.
The meso-scopic simulation method used for our complex flow simulation work is the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM).
We also work on shorter, faster physical scales, developing simulation techniques which compliment LBM, namely coarse-grained Monte-Carlo and molecular dynamics methods, applied, principally, to a range of liquid crystal, polymer and general soft-matter systems.
