Dr Tim Craft is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering at The University of Manchester, where he has been for most of his academic career. His teaching and research is mainly in the area of fluid mechanics, and particularly in the development and application of computational models that can be used to simulate complex and challenging flows. Examples include the airflow around aircraft wings and wingtips, heating and cooling applications, including gas turbine blade cooling problems, and flows driven by buoyancy forces, including applications in nuclear reactor cooling systems. He is also Undergraduate Admissions Tutor for the Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering programmes, and as part of that role provides advice and guidance to potential applicants for courses across the University’s Engineering School.
