Critical Infrastructure


About the research area

The strength and health of our critical infrastructure is influenced by multiphase flows. For example, all the concrete in our roads and bridges start as a multiphase flow where an aggregate is suspended in a fluid cement that hardens over time. Aggregate mixing and segregation are extremely important when constructing a road or bridge. The development of the soil foundation underneath our roads also involve particulate flow and compaction, both comprising multiphase flows.
