Department of Chemical EngineeringInteraction of Foams with a Porous Support
Funded by the European Science Foundation, this is a Marie Curie Initial Training Networks CoWet project. The Researcher is required to undertake research into the modelling of the foam drainage in the presence of surfactants and/or polymers, interaction of foams with a porous support and adsorption of desired amounts of a solute from the foam in a contact with a porous substrate to the pores.
Applicants should have (i) a strong interest in modeling and computer simulations of foam behaviour (using available theoretical models) and spreading using Navier-Stokes equations, (ii) the ability to develop and use analytical and numerical tools to analyze those models, (iii) the willingness to visit and collaborate with other groups of the Marie Curie network CoWet. For more information on the wider field of work see http://www.lboro.ac.uk/departments/cg/staff/starov.html. Experience in theoretical physics, fluid mechanics, colloid and interface science and computer simulations is desirable.
