PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia in the School of Environmental Sciences on winds and waves in the Alpine mountains , with a focus on meteorology , climate science , orographic gravity waves , numerical weather prediction , and atmospheric circulation. The project investigates how mountains affect winds and upper-atmosphere circulation through orographic gravity waves and gravity-wave drag, and how these processes influence weather forecasts and clear-air turbulence. The successf...

PhD opportunity at the University of Strathclyde (Department of Naval Architecture, Ocean & Marine Engineering, NAOME) on hydroelasticity of floating platforms for tidal turbines . This fully funded 3-year studentship focuses on the interaction between platform flexibility, waves, currents, turbine loading, and floating tidal turbine performance. The project combines marine hydrodynamics , structural dynamics , fluid-structure interaction , and numerical modelling for offshore renewable energy s...
