James Percival

James Percival is a Senior Teaching Fellow in the Department of Earth Science & Engineering at Imperial College London, part of the Faculty of Engineering. His research focuses on computational methods for fluid dynamics, environmental engineering, and porous media flow. He is affiliated with the Applied Modelling and Computation Group and the Novel Reservoir Modelling and Simulation (NORMS) initiative. His work emphasizes numerical simulations using advanced techniques like discontinuous Galerkin methods and adaptive unstructured meshes.

Key research areas include hydro-morphodynamics, multiphase flow modeling, and reservoir engineering. His publications highlight contributions to fluid dynamics, atmospheric modeling (e.g., ATHAM-Fluidity), and environmental applications such as pipeline scour analysis. Percival’s methodologies prioritize high-resolution simulations and mesh optimization for complex geophysical and industrial challenges.

His articles reflect a trend toward integrating computational efficiency with accuracy in modeling phenomena like viscous fingering, interfacial flows, and extreme weather events. Despite significant contributions, no awards or grants are explicitly noted in the provided texts.
