- The investigation of buried interfaces, such as the mineral/aqueous solution interface, is experimentally challenging. Neutron reflectometry is a well-established and non-invasive technique that allows behaviour at these interfaces to be measured, and a technique has been developed within the group to allow the surface of the mineral muscovite mica to be measured.
We are pleased to launch a fully funded PhD programme on fluid mechanics and thermodynamics needed for the energy transition.
BPI PhD Scholarships
The BPI is pleased to announce a competition for BPI PhD Scholarships.
Covid 19-related research
Research is ongoing on the mixing and ventilation of aerosols and viruses in buildings. Key results and publications will be added below as they become available.- The impact of hospital ward ventilation on airborne pathogen exposure (Am. J. Respir. Crit. Care Med., in press), where we present the results of a monitoring campaign in the cystic fibrosis ward in the new Royal Papworth Hospital in Cambridge.
- The mixing of airborne contaminants by the repeated passage of people along a corridor (J. Fluid Mech. 903), where we show that people walking through a space drive significant mixing of the air, causing viruses and aerosols to be transported long distances and remain suspended in the air for a long time.
- Analogue Laboratory Modelling of Ventilation in Nightingale Hospitals, where we compare different strategies for the ventilation of a ward.
- Coronavirus Pandemic: Making Safer Emergency Hospitals. Healthcare authorities are attempting to add thousands of additional bed spaces by temporarily adapting any available large open halls. Here, we compare different low-tech adaptations to ventilation systems and ward configuration.
- On the transport of heavy particles through an upward displacement-ventilated space (J. Fluid Mech. 772), where we investigate the removal of contaminants from a warm room using displacement ventilation.
- On the transport of heavy particles through a downward displacement-ventilated space (J. Fluid Mech. 774), where we investigate the removal of contaminants from a room containing a source of cooling.
Divestment
The University has just announced plans to divest from fossil fuelcompanies or the next 10 years, provides a powerful leadershipsignal for advancing decarbonisation of the energy system which wewelcome. The BPI is at the heart of pioneering new research forthe energy transition, and continues to work with a range of partnerson some of the most challenging problems involved in the transitionto zero carbon energy including:
- carbon capture and storage: a key process which will enabledecarbonisation of cement, iron and steel manufacture and thedisposal of emissions from biofuels to create a net sink of carbon
- geothermal power production, including novel closed loop multiwell systems, which can provide power generation as well as feedingdistrict heating and agricultural systems
- innovative coatings for offshore wind turbines to extend theirlife and inhibit corrosion in such hostile environments
- low energy building design to optimise air flows throughbuildings for more energy efficient heating and cooling
- the use of phase change materials in heat exchange systems toproduce much more energy efficient solutions
Introduction to BPI
The BPI is an interdisciplinary Research Institute in the University of Cambridge, with a focus on fluid mechanics and surface science. The research spans subjects ranging from Volcano Dynamics, Carbon Sequestration, Ocean Mixing and Ice Sheet Evolution through to Microscopic Encapsulation Technology, Fundamentals of Wetting and Corrosion, Flow in Permeable Rocks, and most recently Granular Flows The research is characterised by the combination of experimental data, theoretical modelling and numerical analysis to enable quantitative description of many complex and often multiphase flow processes.
The BPI was established in 2000 and has six permanent university faculty, a senior research fellow and lively cohort of over 30 PhD and Post-Doctoral researchers. The BPI has 5 parent departments in the University including Earth Sciences, Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering and Engineering.
Bpi Cambridge
Over the past 20 years, research from the BPI has had significant impact in a number of key areas including (a) design of low energy ventilation systems for buildings, (b) new insights into carbon sequestration technology, (c) improved functioning of lubricants, and (d) new encapsulation processes for bio-active washing powders.
A flagship enterprise of the BPI is the Annual Masterclass in Energy Supply and Demand, which has been running for over 15 years and includes lively debate on the energy transition, including presentations and discussion of the technology challenges associated with various sources of energy and challenges on reducing energy demand.
The BPI was established through a generous endowment by BP plc in 1999, and over the past 20 years, the BPI has built up very strong links with many partners in both academia and industry, working on problems in the built environment, the energy sector and the environment.
