The surprising application of tornados in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals

该项目检查了在容器（例如注射器主体）中旋转然后快速减速的流体的行为，作为检测制造过程中异物的过程的一部分。龙卷风的崩溃在流体中产生向上的运动，然后使粒子运动，从而允许它们的检测。该项目将结合联合收割机的实验和计算方法，使建模工作可以得到适当的验证。此外，您将与主要制药商葛兰素史克的员工密切合作，为这一重要的制造过程带来新的理解。也将有机会增加我们在动态旋转流领域的基本知识基础。

This project examines the behaviour of fluid that is spun and then decelerated rapidly in a container (e.g. a syringe body) as part of the process to detect foreign bodies within the manufacturing process. The collapse of the tornado creates an upwards motion within the fluid that then sets particles in motion, allowing their detection. The project will combine experimental and computational methods, so that the modelling work can be properly validated. In addition, you will work closely with staff from GlaxoSmithKline, a major pharmaceutical manufacturer, to bring new understanding to this important manufacturing process. There will also be the opportunity to add to our fundamental knowledge base in the area of dynamic rotating flows.
