Postdoctoral Research Fellow opportunity in acoustic cavitation and bubble dynamics at the University of Birmingham , School of Mathematics. The project focuses on cavitation in sonochemical reactors and will develop mathematical and computational models for phenomena including rectified diffusion, mass transfer, and microbubble oscillations, building on recent theory for bubble growth and stabilisation in megasonic clouds. This is a postdoc position, fixed term for 3 years, with salary at Grade...

PhD Candidate in Interface-Resolved CFD for Boiling and Condensation on Engineered Surfaces The Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) is recruiting a 3-year PhD Candidate in the Department of Energy and Process Engineering. The project is part of the Horizon Europe Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Doctoral Network SurPhase , which investigates sustainable surface engineering and phase-change heat transfer for low-global-warming-potential refrigerants. Based at the Thermal Two-Phase...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in Electrifying Chemical Reactors for Net Zero , focusing on the coupled dynamics of flow, heat transfer, particle motion, electrical conduction, and reactor performance . This project investigates directly electrified particle and fluidised-bed reactors, where conductive particles generate heat through Joule heating while being mixed by a flowing gas. The research aims to build a predictive understanding of how particle-scale behaviour shapes rea...
