PhD Opportunities in Fluid Mechanics in Turkey

Gesse R., an Assistant Professor at Villanova University, is seeking a PhD student to join a research group working in computational soft matter . The fully funded position is scheduled to start in Fall 2027. The group studies the modeling and simulation of particles—including both active and passive particles—and macromolecules in fluids. The research involves computational approaches to soft matter, fluid mechanics, colloidal physics, numerical methods, and applied mathematics, with potential ...

This PhD scholarship at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Construct) is part of a collaboration between DTU and a private enterprise focused on experimental clearance flow research for ammonia and other sustainable marine fuels. The project uses an in-house designed high-pressure clearance flow test rig that reproduces pressure and temperature conditions similar to those in a marine engine booster pump. The successful PhD student will continue development of the ammonia flow rig, run test...

This doctoral project at Lund University focuses on the numerical simulation of turbulent heat transfer over rough surfaces. The work is based at the Department of Energy Sciences, Faculty of Engineering (LTH), within the Division of Heat Transfer, where the research environment combines fluid mechanics, heat transfer and computational fluid dynamics with a strong emphasis on turbulent flows and engineering applications. The project addresses a challenging and practically important topic: how su...

The Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) in L’Aquila is offering six Ph.D. positions in its doctoral program Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences . The program is organized within GSSI’s Mathematics area, which brings together faculty working across analysis, fluid dynamics, numerical analysis, and probability/statistical mechanics. The doctoral structure includes graduate coursework in the first year, after which students choose a research project and a thesis advisor. The advertised...

This PhD project is part of the TurboImpact network, a Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network focused on the aerodynamic design, optimisation, material selection, and manufacturing of small-scale turbomachinery . The doctoral researcher will work at STI IGM LAMD at EPFL in Neuchâtel within an international, collaborative consortium of 14 Doctoral Candidates and partner universities and companies. The research topic sits at the intersection of turbomachinery aerodynamics , manufacturing-aware desig...

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...

The Gran Sasso Science Institute (GSSI) in L’Aquila, Italy, is offering six fully funded positions within its four-year PhD programme in Mathematics in Natural, Social and Life Sciences. The Fluid Dynamics area welcomes applicants to develop their own research focus rather than joining a predefined project. The Fluid Dynamics group investigates a broad range of problems in fluid mechanics and computational fluid dynamics, including turbulent flows, high-speed aerodynamics, heat transfer, hydrody...

This fully funded PhD opportunity is based in the Okanagan Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory within the School of Engineering at the University of British Columbia Okanagan in Canada. The project investigates the computational modelling of electrical-transformer thermal behaviour. The doctoral researcher will study overheating, cooling, thermal hotspots and waste-heat recovery, using computational fluid dynamics, mathematical modelling and numerical simulation to understand and improve tra...

TurboImpact is a Horizon Europe MSCA Doctoral Network project hosted at EPFL in Neuchatel, within STI IGM LAMD. The position focuses on the integrated design and optimization of small-scale turbomachinery for applications such as heat pumps, fuel cells, organic Rankine cycles, and gas turbines. The PhD project aims to build robust design methods for high-speed turbomachinery systems. The successful candidate will work on developing reduced-order models for gas-bearing supported turbomachinery, c...
