Projects
Body Forces in Particle Suspensions in Turbulence
Gabriel Amine-Eddine (Investigator)
The behaviour of multiphase flows is of primary importance in many engineering applications. In the past, experimental observations have provided many researchers with the ability to understand and probe the phenomena and physical processes occurring in such flows. With advancements in modern day computational power, we now have the ability to gain an even greater wealth of knowledge, from what used to be a physical experiment, is now a virtual simulation.

The NGCM brings together world-class simulation modelling research activities from across the University of Southampton and hosts a 4-year doctoral training programme that is the first of its kind in the UK.
Complexity in Modelling Electric Marine Propulsive Devices
Suleiman Sharkh, Neil Bressloff, Hans Fangohr (Investigators), Aleksander Dubas
This project involves the simulation of turbulent flow around a marine rim-driven thruster and the complex interaction of flow features involved through computational fluid dynamics. Following this, the optimisation of design parameters using computational fluid dynamics to calculate the objective function is performed and surrogate modelling utilised to estimate optimum design configuration.
Designer 3D Magnetic Mesostructures
Hans Fangohr (Investigator), Matteo Franchin, Andreas Knittel
A new electrodeposition self-assembly method allows for the growth of well defined mesostructures. This project's aim is to use this method in order to fabricate supraconducting and ferromagnetic mesostructures. Numerical methods based on well-established models are used in order to characterise the grown structures.
Directing magnetic skyrmion traffic flow with nanoscale patterning.
Hans Fangohr (Investigator), Mark Vousden
Skyrmions in magnetic nanostructures may lead to new data storage technologies. Appropriate simulation methodologies are developed and applied.
Fluid Dynamics Optimisation of Rim-Drive Thrusters and Ducted Hydrokinetic Generators
Aleksander Dubas, Suleiman Sharkh (Investigators)
This is a Knowledge Transfer Partnership project is a collaboration between the University of Southampton and TSL Technology Ltd. to develop computational fluid dynamics software design tools for modelling and optimising the design of propeller thrusters and water turbine generators.
Fluid Structure Interactions of Yacht Sails
Stephen Turnock (Investigator), Daniele Trimarchi
The research is the main subject of the PhD topic. It regards the application of fluid structure interaction techniques to the domain of yacht sails simulation
Gravitational waves from neutron stars
Ian Hawke (Investigator)
Gravitational waves, once detected, will give information about the extremes of space and time. Compact objects such as neutron stars are perfect locations for generating such waves.
Magnetic dynamics under the Landau-Lifshitz-Baryakhtar equation
Hans Fangohr (Investigator), Weiwei Wang
Magnetic dynamics using the Landau-Lifshitz-Baryakhtar (LLBar) equation that the nonlocal damping is included as well as the scalar Gilbert damping.

Hans Fangohr (Investigator), Weiwei Wang
The domain wall motion induced by spin waves (magnons) in the presence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya Interaction is studied in this project.
Multiscale Modelling of Cellular Calcium Signalling
Hans Fangohr, Jonathan Essex (Investigators), Dan Mason
Calcium ions play a vitally important role in signal transduction and are key to many cellular processes including muscle contraction and cell apoptosis (cell death). This importance has made calcium an active area in biomedical science and mathematical modelling.
Nmag - computational micromagnetics
Hans Fangohr, Thomas Fischbacher (Investigators), Matteo Franchin, Andreas Knittel, Maximilian Albert, Dmitri Chernyshenko, Massoud Najafi, Richard Boardman
Nmag is a micromagnetic simulation package based on the general purpose multi-physics library nsim. It is developed by the group of Hans Fangohr and Thomas Fischbacher in the School of Engineering Sciences at the University of Southampton and released under the GNU GPL.

Hans Fangohr (Investigator), Marijan Beg
OpenDreamKit is a [Horizon 2020](https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/) European Research Infrastructure project (#676541) providing substantial funding to the open-source computational mathematics ecosystem, and in particular popular tools such as LinBox, MPIR, SageMath, GAP, Pari/GP, LMFDB, Singular, MathHub, and the IPython/Jupyter interactive computing environment.
Real-time CFD for helicopter flight simulation
Kenji Takeda (Investigator), James Kenny
Project aims to show how real-time computational fluid dynamics (CFD) could be used to improve the realism of helicopter flight simulators.
Simulations of Magnetic Skyrmions
Hans Fangohr (Investigator), Ryan Pepper
The manipulation of magnetic skyrmions could prove to be a useful technique for storing data on an unprecedented density scale. In this project we seek to better understand their properties and ways to control them.
Skyrmionic states in confined nanostructures
Hans Fangohr (Investigator), Marijan Beg
An ever increasing need for data storage creates great challenges for the development of high-capacity storage devices that are cheap, fast, reliable, and robust. Because of the fundamental constraints of today's technologies, further progress requires radically different approaches. Magnetic skyrmions are very promising candidates for the development of future low-power, high-capacity, non-volatile data storage devices.
Unsteady Aerodynamics of Wings in Extreme Conditions
Charles Badoe (Investigator), Neil Sandham, Zheng-Tong Xie
Sizing of civil aircraft is dictated by extreme loads experienced at the limits of flight envelope, for example during gust, turbulence or low speed manoeuvre. The project aims to understand the unsteady aerodynamic behaviour of wings in extreme conditions involving heaving motions near stall.
