Leidenfrost Effect
A very interesting phenomenon, which involves heating a water droplet significantly past its boiling point, beyond which the droplet does not evaporate, but is instead supported on the vapour which is locally formed below the liquid.

Lubricating Channel and Tube Flows
Linzi’s newest project will involve optimising the internal surface of pipes to improve fluid flow. This is a 3 year EPSRC project, and will take place under the guidance of Prof. David Wood and in collaboration with Northumbia and Nottingham Trent Universities
