Two PhD Studentships in Green Methanol Offshore Vessels and Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Propulsion Newcastle University in United Kingdom

Newcastle University is offering a four-year PhD studentship through the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Process Industries: Net Zero. The project focuses on developing an endurant power and propulsion system for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs operating in offshore energy infrastructure. AUVs are increasingly important for inspecting offshore wind installations, subsea cables, and fixed or floating energy platforms. Current inspection and maintenance approaches often depend on crewed...

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...
