PhD Studentship in Aeronautics: Turbulence under Strain (AE0096) Imperial College London in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in turbulent boundary layers, junction flows, and experimental aerodynamics . The project, Close Encounters: Interaction of turbulent boundary layers with junctions , is hosted in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton and supervised by Professor Bharath Ganapathisubramani . It investigates how aerodynamic components such as wings, fuselages, trusses, and appendages interact to create complex pressure gra...

[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 Particle-Fluid Interactions in Environmental Flows . This project sits in the Environmental Fluid Mechanics research group and focuses on how fluids and particles interact in major environmental processes such as ocean plastic pollution , air pollution , sediment transport , and coastal erosion . The work may use experimental , theoretical , numerical , or combined approaches depending on the student’s background and interests. You will have ac...

The Institute of Fluid Mechanics at Technische Universität Braunschweig is offering a doctoral research opportunity in the experimental and numerical study of liquid sheet jets for active flow control. The project is part of the DFG-funded research project Superior Flow Control through Liquid-Sheet Jets . It investigates thin, wide water jets injected into an air crossflow and their potential to replace pressurised air in active flow-control systems for future hydrogen fuel-cell aircraft. The re...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in high-fidelity CFD for fan/OGVs broadband noise modelling , hosted in the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) in Propulsion Systems Noise at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR) . This project focuses on aeroacoustics , computational fluid dynamics , fluid mechanics , and mathematical modelling for Ultra High Bypass Ratio (UHBR) aeroengines . The research will use Large Eddy Simulation (LES) or Detached Eddy Simulation...
