Biopic

Dr Greaves graduated from Bristol University in Civil Engineering and worked in the industry for four years. She took her DPhil in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) at Oxford University and was a lecturer at UCL for four years. She currently holds a Royal Society University Research Fellowship.

Her research interests are in CFD, including adaptive mesh techniques for applications where the flow boundary is moving; such as free surface waves, blood flow in flexible vessels and wind interaction with flexible roof structures; and application of CFD to the building environment and external air flow around buildings.

She teaches part of the final year Building Environmental Engineering option. Her lectures cover CFD and its application to the building environment including, industrial applications of CFD, mesh generation, derivation of governing equations, finite volume discretisation, pressure correction for the Navier-Stokes Equations and turbulence modelling.
