Hi!

Profile picture

dave@xyloid.org

I’m David Moxey, a lecturer in mechanical engineering in the College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences at the University of Exeter. I’m a project leader of the Nektar++ spectral/hp element framework, using it to further our understanding of complex fluid flows in aeronautics and industry.

Research Interests

My research interests lie primarily in the field of computational fluid dynamics, but are generally highly interdisciplinary. I am interested in problems lying at the intersection of applied mathematics, computational engineering and high performance computing

Currently my goals focus around understanding fluid turbulence; specifically, how steady laminar flows transition to this chaotic state and how this impacts on real-world problems in the aeronautics industry. To achieve this I am developing efficient, robust and massively parallel high-order spectral element software that, together with modern computing technology, will form the next generation of computational flow simulations.

For further details you can take a look at my research page, see a list of my publications and talks or look at my CV.
