Investigating the functional interaction between vasopressin and angiotensin receptors. Kidney disease resulting from diabetes is a major health issue for Australians, and indigenous Australians in particular. This project aims to enable improved therapies to be developed, as well as better inform doctors regarding the use of potential combinations of existing pharmaceuticals to treat this condition.
The phenomenology of unsteady impinging jets: fluid dynamics and heat transfer. This project comprises a definitive study of a fluid jet impacting a target surface and the effect of added fluctuations on its momentum and heat-transfer characteristics. This will deliver new scientific knowledge and underpin the development of an energy-efficient thermal-control technology for widespread use in many areas of engineering.
