PhD in Particle-Fluid Interactions in Environmental Flows University of Southampton in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in turbulence, drag, rough surfaces, and fluid mechanics . This project, based in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences, investigates how roughness geometry changes turbulent boundary layers and drag. The research combines advanced wind-tunnel experiments, 3D Particle Tracking Velocimetry (PTV), and direct drag measurements to build new geometry-dependent drag models and expand an internationally used roughness database. The work is hig...
