Modelling work for numerous materials problems covering a variety of time and length scales. This work has enjoyed close collaboration with UK manufacturers. Some recent and ongoing projects include:-

• Nano scale modelling of ageing of steels using Kinetic Monte Carlo Method (Corus plc).
• Nano scale modelling of the leaching of Raney-Ni catalytic powders using Kinetic Monte Carlo Method (European Space Agency, CERAM, Johnson-Matthey, Leiden University Holland among others).
• Micro scale Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling for numerical determination of permeability during dendritic solidification of alloys (latterly with Hungarian Academy of Sciences).
• Micro scale electro chemical modelling of localized corrosion (Corus plc).
• Micro scale diffusion modelling for Ti alloys (Rolls-Royce plc).
• Macro scale FD/FE simulation of moisture ingress into CFRP aerospace materials (Airbus UK).
• Macro scale FE radiative heat transfer modelling (DSTL Farnborough).
• Macro scale electro-thermo-mechanical modelling of hot-rolling & several resistance welding processes (Corus plc).
• Macro scale Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling for surfboard fin design, http://cetic.swan.ac.uk/surfs/

To support modelling activities, an award-winning experimental rig (the ASSET test) to measure the tensile properties of solidifying alloys has been developed (for Al, Cu, Ni and Fe alloys).
