Department Name: Engineering
Abstract
Fluid mechanics underpins many established and emerging UK industries as well as critical societal issues such as climate science and energy consumption. Fluid mechanics research in the UK remains world-class across several dozen institutions. However, with the recent concentration of research council funding in a few universities, a network across institutions is needed to ensure that academic and industrial researchers can access the widest pool of expertise and resources, and can continue to innovate in critical emerging areas. The strategic mission of the UK Fluids Network is to keep the UK an international focal point for innovative, relevant, and impactful fluid mechanics, to engage as a group with industry, and to build leadership within the community.
Early developments in fluid mechanics research were motivated by aerodynamics and this remains an important branch of the subject; Rolls-Royce, Airbus, and BAE Systems are 3 of the 6 most named partners in the Dowling review of Business-University Research Collaborations. As the subject has matured, a wide range of inter-disciplinary applications have emerged within research council priority areas. Examples include complex fluids and rheology, carbon capture and storage, and many aspects of the Energy challenge theme and Manufacturing the Future initiative.
Fluid mechanics research in the UK remains world-class across many groups. In EPSRC's 2010 International Review of Mathematical Sciences, UK fluid mechanics research was described as ahead of Asian countries and the rest of Europe, behind only the US. However, there are on-going challenges to identify and fund critical emerging areas, to attract international investment against increasingly well-funded competition, to engage companies that have never participated in collaborations, and to respond to changing research council funding models. The aim of the network is to enable the UK fluid mechanics community to meet these challenges.
There are around 20 joint efforts in the UK fluid mechanics community, many supported by research councils or InnovateUK. These are discipline-specific, such as the UK Turbulence consortium, the UK Applied Aerodynamics consortium, and the Industrial Mathematics KTN, or application-specific, such as the Aerospace Technology Institute, the Energy Generation and Supply KTN, and the Transport KTN. These focus on a limited set of established areas and therefore cover only a fraction of UK fluid mechanics activity. Many emerging areas, which have the biggest potential to create major step changes, fall between the cracks. The UKFN will complement these joint efforts, facilitating inter-disciplinary research and engagement with industry, and also support 40 Special Interest Groups (SIGs) that address industrial, scientific, and societal challenges outside existing joint efforts.
The UKFN draws inspiration from existing overseas networks. The Dutch Burgerscentrum (www.jmburgerscentrum.nl) enhances international visibility and national influence for Dutch fluid mechanics research. The European Research Community on Flow, Turbulence, and Combustion (ERCOFTAC www.ercoftac.org) organises SIGs, best practice guidelines, and industry events. The European Mechanics Society (www.euromech.org) organises conferences and colloquia. The American Physical Society Division of Fluid Dynamics (APS-DFD) coordinates the US fluid mechanics community in advocacy to funding agencies. There are similar organisations in India and China. The activities proposed for the UKFN are designed to have similar impact for the UK.

Planned Impact
Benefits to the UK economy
The network will keep the UK at the forefront of fluid mechanics research, to the benefit of the UK economy. Fluid mechanics underpins much of the mechanical, aerospace, chemical engineering and oil industries, as well as aspects of high-tech industry, the food and drink industry, and the pharmaceutical industry. In addition, the role of fluid mechanics in applications to biology and medicine are major growth areas. There are already strong research collaborations between universities and industry. For example, Rolls-Royce, Airbus, and BAE Systems are three of the six most named partners in the Dowling review of Business-University Research Collaborations. However, there are on-going challenges to identify and fund critical emerging areas in fluid mechanics, to attract international investment against increasingly well-funded competition, and to engage companies that could benefit from fluid mechanics research in universities but have never participated in university collaborations.
Industry and other external organisations often require assistance in locating researchers who can define and solve problems using appropriate combinations of theory, experiments, and numerical methods. The website will address the need for brokerage between industry and universities described above. It will contain a sign-up page, whose input will build into a searchable UK directory of fluid mechanics researchers and users. The network will set up special interest groups (SIGs). Each SIG will focus on an industrial or societal challenge, an interdisciplinary problem, or a theoretical, experimental or numerical method. This will expose academic researchers to industry's most pressing needs and to expose industry to rapidly-advancing areas that may lead to new business opportunities. The network will provide an accessible route for SMEs to engage with leading fluid mechanics research and facilitate proposals to InnovateUK's Small Business Research Initiative.
The network will also fund week-long research visits within the UK, particularly for projects that cross discipline boundaries. One of the aims of these visits is to encourage initial engagement with industry that could build into an RAEng Industrial Secondment or Industrial Fellowship.
Finally, the website will contain two types of resource aimed at industrial researchers. The first will be courses requiring several days' work. The second will be hints, tips, and snippets of software. These will teach numerical methods, data collection, experimental protocols, and analysis, recognising that software is a primary mechanism for passing practical knowledge between researchers.
Benefits to society
The air we breathe and the water we drink sustain human life and are common to all. Life on the planet relies on the atmosphere, the oceans, rivers, and rainfall, all governed by the laws of fluid mechanics. Despite this permeation throughout our whole existence and of life on the planet, fluid mechanics has failed to capture the public imagination in the way say astronomy or cosmology has. We want to change this and make the public aware of the beauty of fluid flow, understand the intellectual challenges associated with the subject, and see it's importance to our lives.
We will use the network to establish new and closer links with the media, to provide new and arresting images and stories about fluid mechanics, and to report on success stories of new breakthroughs and applications. The website will play the major role in providing news items, and a searchable catalogue of images and movies. We will make science correspondents aware of the network and send them regular information. We will encourage members to write popular articles and the network will support the developments of public exhibits, sharing of outputs from departmental open days, and encourage members to participate in e.g. the Royal Society Summer Science Exhibition

| Description | Fluid mechanics is a very broad discipline, with approximately 1000 permanent staff across over 60 UK institutions, with the same number again of both postdocs and graduate students. The principal instruments to connect this large population are a website, https://fluids.ac.uk, and a set of 40 Special Interest Groups or SIGs, each with between 10 and 100 members. The SIGs meet at 6-monthly intervals to exchange expertise, to discuss new research directions, to engage with industry where appropriate, to encourage participation by graduate students and postdocs and to collate and create new resources for the fluids community. The primary objective of the UK Fluids Network is to 'Initiate novel and creative fluid mechanics research, within and across discipline boundaries', and the SIGs are playing a central role in meeting this objective. In the first instance, they have created a forum for researchers in a wide range of sub-disciplines, from biologically-active fluids to flows of granular materials, from the fluid mechanics of the eye to low-energy ventilation, from the fluid mechanics of cleaning and decontamination to wave-structure interactions. A number of the leaders of the SIGs have commented this is the first opportunity they have had to meet with UK colleagues in their sub-discipline. The website brings together the SIGs along with a growing pool of information, including listings of seminars in fluid mechanics (over 60 recorded in full), researcher resources (teaching courses, tips and tricks, introductory material in specific areas) and a consolidated Directory of more than 1000 UK researchers. Another network has recently been set up: the UK Acoustics Network (https://acoustics.ac.uk/) has been strongly influenced by the experience gained in setting up the UK Fluids Network, and there is ongoing sharing of such best practice. |
| Exploitation Route | They have already inspired the UK Acoustics Network (see above), and the best practice principles could be applied in other contexts. |

| Description | In conjunction with the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, UKFN has sponsored Dr Tom Crawford to spearhead outreach activities for the network and reach a wide non-academic audience through interviews with UK fluids researchers. Further details are given under 'Engagement Activities'. The UK Fluids Network website (https://fluids.ac.uk/) is building a catalogue of photos and videos to promulgate the beauty and ubiquity of fluid mechanics to a general audience. The Gallery page and the home page carousel feature the choicest entries submitted in the regular competitions. UKFN (@UKFluidsNetwork) and a number of the Special Interest Groups (@bioactivefluids, @LiqCrystFlowSIG, @UKFluids_SIGCle, @SIGnonlin_waves, @lev_network, @MultiphaseTPSIG, @UKFluidsNetSPH) have Twitter accounts. These allow rapid dissemination of news and items of interest to the fluids community and beyond. @UKFluidsNetwork itself has over 3000 followers. UKFN also commissioned the report Our Fluid Nation, which examined the economic benefits of UK fluids research. Published in September 2021, the report concluded the impact was substantial: 'Fluid Dynamics is a £13.9 billion UK industry, employing more than 45,000 people in 2,200 companies'. Finally, UKFN publishes a weekly newsletter, featuring a compilation of items submitted by the UK fluids community. It is e-mailed to more than 2000 subscribers. |

| Results and Impact | The 1st CCP-WSI Hackathon, in collaboration with Queen's University Belfast, featured members of the Wave-Structure Interaction (WSI) community working together and sharing ideas to develop specific WSI software within the CCP-WSI Code Repository using the OpenFOAM code-base. The event was supported by the UK Fluids Network via the Special Interest Group in Wave Structure Interaction (SIG-WSI) and as well as generating high-quality, open-source and community-driven software, the CCP-WSI Hackathon aimed to reduce the duplication of effort by bringing members of the WSI community together to work collaboratively on shared WSI problems. The code developments made were professionally-software engineered and made publicly available, enabling easy and continual expansion of the ideas initiated at the event. Participants of the 1st CCP-WSI Hackathon received advanced, targeted training in WSI software development, from experts in the field, and had an unparalleled opportunity to produce research outputs and establish collaborations with colleagues from the wider WSI community. Furthermore, participants of the 1st CCP-WSI Hackathon were invited to be named contributors of the 1st CCP-WSI Code Release. |
