Fluids & Thermal Cluster

Fluids & Thermal

Flowing Innovation.

The research cluster advances solutions to global challenges by integrating expertise in fluid dynamics, sustainable thermal energy technologies, water engineering, and reaction engineering. Our work spans multiscale fluid phenomena—from nanoscale phenomena to atmospheric flows— we are investigating multiphase flows and pollutant transport in urban and coastal waters to improve environmental sustainability. Our research also covers the design of multifunctional catalytic reactors and nanomaterials for green synthesis of clean fuels, and electrochemical treatment of wastewater. In parallel, we are also tackling the decarbonization of heating and cooling, which represents a major share of UK carbon emissions, through innovations in heat networks, heat pumps, storage, synthesis of renewable biofuels and hydrogen-powered systems.

Supported by significant funding and industry collaboration, the cluster combines experimental, computational, and applied approaches to deliver transformative advances in the science of health, energy, emissions reductions and environmental management.
