PhD in Optimal Perturbations in Turbulent Flows University of Southampton in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences on optimized vertical-axis wind turbine (VAWT) arrays , combining surrogate modelling , topology optimization , fluid mechanics , and mathematical modelling . The project aims to develop a multi-scale optimization framework to design VAWTs specifically for array performance, rather than optimizing a single turbine and then placing it in a farm. The research focuses on improving urban wind farm vi...

Technische Universität Ilmenau is advertising a PhD candidate position in simulations of compressible turbulence within the Fluid Mechanics Group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The project is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) under Priority Program DFG-SPP 2410 CoScaRa and is carried out jointly with a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences, Leipzig . The research focuses on the dynamics and small-scale statistical properties of comp...

PhD position reopened at IFPEN near Paris in fluid mechanics and numerical simulation . The project is supervised by Rémi Zamansky (IMFT) together with the local team at IFPEN, including Jean‑Lou Pierson , Hélène Lorcet , and Victor Boniou . The research builds on direct numerical simulation with Basilisk to study droplet populations in turbulence and aims to extend the method to more realistic flows relevant to liquid-liquid extraction , biomass chemicals production , and battery recycling . Id...
