Summary on Grant Application Form
The principal scientific aim of the research is to improve the understanding of the effect of liquid and solid state materials processing on the final structure and properties through the development and application of flexible and validated multi-scale models. Understanding materials processsing requires the simulation of macroscopic processes such as fluid flow, heat and mass transfer, and deformation, combined with the modelling of meso- and microscopic phenomena such as solidification structures, solid state transformations, texture evolution, defect formation, microstructural creep models, etc.The objective of this proposal is to achieve the above aim by expanding the strong programmes within the Materials Dpeartment of Imperial College on the development and application of multi-scale modelling methods to materials processing. These programmes' objective is to maintain the UK Materials Processing Industry's competitiveness by increasing the the understanding of the process/structure/property relationships. This objective lies within the Technology Foresight priority of the development of materials processing technology... to be implemented by models which relate materials composition, structure and process parameters to end-product performance . Further, by delivering these tools to materials producers, it ensures the continuous improvement of existing materials and processes . This objective will be facilitated by the proposed equipment purchase of an entry level expandable computational server, which would not be possible without the JREI scheme.
