Edward John Hinch

Edward John Hinch is a Professor of Fluid Mechanics at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP), part of the Faculty of Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on fluid dynamics, non-Newtonian fluids, granular materials, and multiphase flows. He has contributed extensively to understanding suspension rheology, viscoelastic fluids, and interfacial phenomena.

His work spans theoretical, numerical, and experimental approaches to fluid mechanics problems, including particle-laden flows, granular dynamics, and complex fluid behavior. Notable contributions include studies on Oldroyd-B fluid dynamics, granular column collapse, and interfacial instabilities in viscous fluids.

• Research Highlights:
• Developed models for viscoelastic fluid flows in varying geometries
• Investigated granular flow instabilities and sedimentation dynamics
• Explored capillary-driven phenomena in thin films and droplet impact

Professor Hinch maintains an active research group in Fluid Mechanics within DAMTP and collaborates internationally on projects involving rheology, turbulence, and multiphase systems.
