Research Fellow In Fluid Dynamics

University Of Leeds

Description

Research Fellow in Fluid Dynamics

Do you have a fascination and energy for understanding the behaviour of fluids, and in particular the behaviour of particles and droplets? Can you demonstrate your expertise in the area, and your ability to design, analyse and interpret experiments that give us new insights? Do you want to develop your career in an active group at one of the UK's leading research intensive universities?

We are seeking to appoint a talented and highly motivated Research Fellow to study the behaviour and interactions of droplets and particles. In particular, we are interested in furthering our understanding of droplet and particle interactions as droplets dry. This role will be part of an EPSRC funded collaborative project ‘Evaporative Drying of Droplets and the Formation of Micro-structured and Functional Particles and Films' and is a collaboration between the Universities of Leeds, Durham and Bristol and 13 industrial partners. The project brings together modelling and experimental expertise to address the complex challenge of understanding the wealth of dynamics that change the distribution of material inside a droplet as it dries and how particles come together to form agglomerates and films.

The research will primarily involve designing, performing and analysing experiments that enable our understanding of the collision and spreading dynamics of droplets and particles to be characterised, quantified and understood. From these, the role holders will develop new insights and models which can be used to predict behaviour and guide design in industrial applications.
