Mr Christopher Pass

I am currently a member of the technical team in the School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics and am responsible for the Energy and Sustainability lab. This facility allows under-graduate and post-graduate students to come and put into practice the theory learnt in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics modules using a range of experimental tools. 

As part of this role, I am also responsible for all aspects of our closed return sub-sonic wind tunnel.  

Prior to this I was a founding member of DesignFlow, an engineering design and analysis consultancy based within the School of Engineering Computing and Mathematics through which I was involved in a range of research and commercial projects, primarily involving CFD analysis. Typical projects included performance analysis of marine propellers, analysis of building aerodynamics and engine cooling system performance prediction.    

Post-graduate Certificate: Academic Practice

BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering (1st Class)
Plymouth University
Advanced Modern Apprenticehip (Aerospace Engineering)
Defence College of Aeronautical Engineering

MECH545 - Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis 

MECH539 - Computer Aided Engineering 

I am currently working towards my PhD, my project is based on the development of a CFD based tool for modelling the self-propelled swimming process in marine animals.
