Fully Funded PhD Positions in Space Science, Astrodynamics, and Spacecraft GNC at Rutgers University Rutgers University in United States

PhD studentship at the University of Arizona on DNS of hypersonic boundary-layer transition . The project uses high-fidelity Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) to study stability and laminar-turbulent transition in boundary layers at hypersonic speeds ( M = 4 to 14 ). Research topics include the physical mechanisms governing the linear and nonlinear stages of transition, breakdown to turbulence, and the investigation of promising flow-control methods using high-fidelity DNS. The position is well...
