Slurry Transportation Pipeline Design Tool for the Minerals and Mining Industry

This PhD project at the University of Queensland will investigate how different pipeline construction technologies and design requirements—such as diameter, length, material, and joining methods—affect the efficiency of slurry transportation systems. The research will consider both new and worn pipeline states, aiming to optimize transport efficiency and inform best practices for industrial applications. The project is ideal for students interested in mechanical, civil, or materials engineering, particularly those with a focus on infrastructure, fluid mechanics, and wear analysis. The University of Queensland offers a strong research environment and access to state-of-the-art facilities for experimental and computational studies. Funding details and specific entry requirements are not provided in the current description.
