Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT), School of Mechatronical Engineering, is advertising a funded PhD project on asymptotic analysis of hypersonic flow over forward- and backward-facing steps. The project is hosted by Prof. Xuerui Mao 's research group and involves collaboration with Dr. Diego Exposito (PI). The research focuses on developing a theoretical and numerical framework based on triple-deck asymptotic theory to analyse hypersonic flow over canonical step and cavity geometries. The student will extend existing numerical algorithms, validate asymptotic predictions against conventional Navier–Stokes simulations, and use open-source CFD software. There is also scope to explore three-dimensional step configurations and the open cavity problem, with relevance to supersonic combustion chamber flows. This opportunity is especially relevant for students interested in fluid mechanics , computational methods , mathematics , and aerospace engineering . The group also works across data assimilation, modal analysis, icing/de-icing, fluid-solid interaction, and computational simulation/modelling of flows. Funding includes a net monthly salary of 3500 RMB , free one-bedroom campus accommodation , or an additional 1000 RMB/month for off-campus accommodation. The position lasts three years and is open to students worldwide. Applications are accepted all year round . Interested candidates should email their CV and two references to [email protected] .
