About this position
PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in Particle-Fluid Interactions in Environmental Flows.
This postgraduate research project sits in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and focuses on fluid mechanics, particle-fluid interactions, environmental flows, sediment transport, coastal erosion, ocean plastic pollution, and related problems in rivers, coastal waters, and turbulent boundary layers.
The project invites research using experimental, theoretical, numerical, or combined approaches, depending on the student’s skills and interests. Training is provided, including possible use of Particle Image Velocimetry, Laser Doppler Anemometry, Particle Tracking Velocimetry, and Computational Fluid Dynamics with access to high-performance computing.
The student will join the Environmental Fluid Mechanics research group and benefit from upgraded experimental facilities, the university’s Iridis supercomputer, and an international network of collaborators including ETH Zurich, Delt TU, and several UK and US universities.
Funding: competition funded. Entry requirement: 2:1 honours degree. Deadline: 1 May 2027.
This is a strong fit for applicants interested in environmental science, mechanical engineering, civil/coastal engineering, and fundamental fluid dynamics.
Funding details
Competition funded PhD project. Funding details are not specified beyond competition funding; check the fees and funding section for full support information.
What's required
Applicants should have a 2:1 honours degree. The project welcomes candidates with interests and skills in experimental, theoretical, numerical, or combined approaches. Training will be provided in relevant experimental techniques and, where applicable, computational fluid dynamics and high-performance computing.
