Professor Dr. O. Anwar Bég - Inaugural Lecture

In the 21st century, computers are becoming increasingly critical for developing more sophisticated designs via elegant simulations which involve fluid flow. Examples of responsive intelligent systems which require this include biometric pumps, functional coatings for marine anti-corrosion and sustainable nanofluid solar collectors. Multi-physical fluid dynamics considers many different inter-disciplinary phenomena which can occur simultaneously. Modern software allow more complex phenomena to be simulated simultaneously which better reflects reality. This lecture will review the extensive work conducted by Professor Bég at the University of Salford over the past 6 years, alongside discussions of the 7 key objections fundamental to his approach. This lecture also features many undergraduate and post graduate projects Anwar has supervised, which have advanced the frontiers at The University of Salford (and internationally) in multi-physical simulation. Furthermore, it includes many collaborative works conducted with colleagues at Salford University in mechanical engineering, based in the School of Science, Engineering and Environment in addition to international collaborations.
