Description
The main aim of our research is to advance the understanding of mixing and to help identify solutions for industrial processes. We work across different sectors; including personal care, foods, fine chemicals, catalysis, and polymers; and across different operations; including multi-phase batch mixing, in-line mixing, high-shear systems, emulsification, and impinging jets.
To undertake this research we use cutting edge research techniques; including Process Tomography, Particle Image Velocimetry, and Computational Fluid Dynamics; and high quality research equipment across scales.
