PhD Project in Turbulence and Dispersion in Environmental Aerodynamics University of Southampton in United Kingdom

[Full tuition fees and an annual tax-free stipend of £23,805 for Home, EU and International students.] This PhD project investigates how wind-turbine wakes grow and spread as they move downstream, with a focus on the process of entrainment from a Lagrangian perspective. You will study how turbulent wake structures interact with the surrounding flow and how coherent motions, including blade-tip vortices, influence wake expansion and mixing. The work is based in the Aeronautics community at Imperi...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in Mechanical Engineering , focused on enhancing power capture of tidal turbines using novel blade designs . This postgraduate research project sits within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences and explores how tidal turbine blades can be redesigned to improve energy extraction and reduce the cost of energy from marine renewables. The topic draws inspiration from nature, wind energy, and aviation, and will build on existing Southampton ...

💡 Funded PhD opportunity in Air Quality and Environmental Science at the University of Stirling . The project, titled “From sensors to solutions: understanding and reducing air pollution exposure in everyday environments” , is funded through the NERC Iapetus DTP . The research asks what people are actually breathing in the places where they spend time, and how air pollution exposure can be reduced in real-world settings. The project is flexible and can be adapted to the applicant’s background an...

[Full coverage of tuition fees and an annual tax-free stipend of £23,805 for Home, EU and International students.] This PhD studentship in the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London investigates intermediate-strain turbulence , focusing on turbulent wakes that sit between the two better-understood extremes of highly strained and lowly strained flow. The project is designed to address a major gap in turbulence science by examining the physics of wake flows that are highly relevant t...
