A scanning fluid dynamic gauging technique for probing surface layers
The scanning FDG mode revolutionises this unique technique and allows several locations to be studied concurrently, greatly increasing the amount of data which can be collected. This CASE project was sponsored by P&G [contact Dr Anju Brooker, email available], who subsequently purchased a unit and supported a follow-on PhD project. Royal Society funding for a zero flow FDG was awarded in 2012. Dr Gordon won a 2009 Schladming international fouling conference prize and the 2012 EHEDG Prize for the best dissertation in the field of hygienic engineering. The facility has attracted visiting researchers from Germany, Spain, Sweden and India.
