- Additional information
- The focus of this study was the RANS modelling of complex natural convection flows subjected to Magneto-Hydro-Dynamic forces, using advanced turbulence models. The research demonstrated that the RANS modelling of natural convection flows requires the use of advanced turbulence models. The research expertise developed, put the group in a strong position to secure two research contracts with BEIS/Frazer-Nash (R&D on digital nuclear reactor design, Phase 1, £500k, Phase 2, £350k) and one PhD Studentship 50% funded by EDF-Energy, the former mainly and the latter enirely related to the numerical simulation of turbulent passive cooling.
