Jack King

Jack King is a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Manchester's School of Engineering, specializing in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering. He holds a PhD from the University of Edinburgh and a Bachelor's in Engineering from the University of Cambridge. His research focuses on developing novel numerical methods for complex fluid flows, particularly combustion simulations for clean energy technologies. Key areas include high-order/mesh-free methods (e.g., LABFM/SPH), free surface flows, reacting flows, fluid instabilities, and non-Newtonian fluids.

He has been awarded the Dame Kathleen Ollerenshaw Fellowship (2022) and the Royal Society University Research Fellowship (2023). His work spans collaborations in fluid dynamics, with publications addressing viscoelastic flows, breaking waves, and high-order simulations. He is part of the Fluids Research Group, actively involved in projects on turbulent flows and computational fluid dynamics.
