MPhil Multi-scale Modelling

Researchers in this group develop and use modelling and simulation tools to addresses major research challenges, from the fundamental understanding of novel phenomena at atomic, molecular, meso, micro and macroscopic levels, to the prediction of industrially-relevant fluid properties and equipment performance.

This theme brings together a multidisciplinary team to study systems of both fundamental scientific importance and of practical relevance to the chemical industry. Our tools include quantum mechanical methods, molecular dynamics, Monte Carlo simulations, coarse-grained simulations, dissipative particle dynamics, lattice Boltzmann, computational fluid dynamics and mathematical theory.
