Dr Ellák Somfai

RCUK Academic Fellow in Physics and Complexity .

Research Interests

Complex fluids and nonequilibrium statistical physics:

  • discrete simulation of fluid dynamics:
    transition to turbulence in compressible shear flows
    numerical modeling of viscoelastic flow
  • granular matter:
    dynamics of granular segregation
    statics: jamming transition, characterisation of force networks
    quasistatics: elastic wave propagation, vibrational spectrum
  • Laplacian growth and diffusion-limited aggregation (DLA)
  • surface science:
    vacancy mediated surface diffusion
    diffusion on strained surfaces
    modeling homo- and heteroepitaxial growth
  • fractals and river networks
