Third-cycle subject: Engineering Mechanics
Non-Newtonian fluids are all around us in nature and industry (from biological fluids to avalanches). Complex fluids flow often more irregularly than simple fluids such as water, and interact very differently with surfaces. MUCUS project funded by European Research Council (ERC) improves understanding and prediction of complex fluids’ flow over surfaces. This PhD project will use cutting-edge numerical simulations to examine the impact and wetting behaviours of a complex fluid droplet, on different surface structures, topology and wetting properties.
This will benefit industries dealing with complex fluids, and in long term contribute to enable improved predictions of natural disasters. As a PhD student you will utilize and develop the world-pioneering simulation methods of the MUCUS team to generate new physical insight, which together with our experiments will lead to a great impact. You will collaborate within FLOW centre and our international networks.
Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by: Assoc. Prof Outi Tammisola
