This seminar took place on 19 Jan 2022, 1pm. Georges Limbertās research concerns the numerical modelling of soft tissue, in particular of skin. He is developing mechanistic models to understand the interplay between material and structural properties of the skin, how these change with the external conditions and with age, …
On October 14th, 2020, Professor Jim Scanlan of the Computational Engineering and Design Unit at the University of Southampton gave a talk on Southampton’s pioneering work in Unmanned Air System (UAS) technology. Prof. Scanlan’s presentation considered three main topics: upcoming UAS technologies, previous projects on transporting medical supplies, and the …
We are all storytellers. For a great many of us, I suppose, research can often feel disjointed. A promising lab result here and a crashed simulation there can force us to fill up our minds with whatever is currently on the burner. We feel that we must, with laser focus, optimise …
A glimpse into high-performance sailing Summary of NGCM chat session held on Wednesday 17 June 2020; this included a presentation by Marin Lauber āFaster than the wind; a glimpse into high-performance sailingā followed by some questions and a chance to catch up with fellow NGCM students and academics. The field …
On 13 June 2019, Dr Edward Richardson from the Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics group gave a talk on modelling turbulent reacting flow within the context of combustion. Dr Richardsonās research involves reactive and multi-phase turbulent flows, with application focused towards gas turbines and internal combustion engines. He is also involved …
On Thursday 2 May, Dr Denis Kramer, Associate Professor within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton, gave a seminar on novel materials for energy storage and the modelling approaches used to predict their characteristics. This research is motivated by environmental concerns arising from our massive use of …
Dr. Peter Horak, a co-director of the NGCM from the Optoelectronics Research Centre at the University of Southampton, delivered a talk on the 21 March 2019 on his research in optical fibres. Dr. Horak introduced their uses, modelling them, and the challenges faced. Optical fibres are thin strands of glass …
Presentation by Dr Gabriel Weymouth On Tuesday 12 June, Dr Gabriel Weymouth, Associate Professor for the Marine and Maritime Institute at the University of Southampton, gave a seminar on advancements in fluid simulation software and the biologically-inspired engineering designs this has enabled. This research is motivated by recent interest in …
Presentation by Dr. Jordan Cheer This mornings seminar was given by Dr. Jordan Cheer about the role various roles of the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) research group at the University of Southampton. The ISVR group covers 4 main areas of research: Acoustics Dynamics Signal Processing and Control …
Most robots can freely move in any direction so long as there are no obstacles. Autonomous sailing presents a different kind of challenge: the boat can’t sail directly towards the wind, so it has to zig-zag (‘tack’) to get to a point upwind. It’s also important to keep saltwater and …
