About Research Centre for Fluid and Complex Systems

The Centre for Fluid and Complex Systems seeks fundamental insight and delivers real-world solutions to complex scientific challenges, wherever they arise, whether in Nature, industry, society... or our imagination. Our mission is to grow fundamental and impactful research to address natural, industrial, and societal problems, using mathematical rigour. Interdisciplinarity is fully embedded into our pursuit to apply mathematics to real-life problems. Within the Fluid Mechanics research group, research has extended into health, with the modelling of metastatic tumours and cardiac functions, as well as into planetary and astrophysical flows. Experiments in these areas are notoriously difficult to conduct and we are one of a handful of research centres in the world that combines applied mathematics and experimental physics to tackle liquid planetary cores. In the Statistical Physics research group, our research has expanded into complexity science. Our current interdisciplinary strengths involve network science, cultural complexity, biophysics and sociophysics. For example, our work mapping character networks in traditional epic narratives has been highlighted as one of four exemplars in digital humanities of character networks. Our common interest in medieval texts has also enabled us to use computational biophysics and algorithms to explore plant fertility. Our research within the Engineering Systems research group cuts across the interface of earth sciences, engineering and physics, and flow measurement. Motivated by environmental and energy applications, our research includes such topics as contamination and remediation, sediment transport, microfluidics and soil infiltration. The group also aims to provide low cost, accurate and validated measurement systems in diverse environments from manufacturing to energy distribution systems.
