Prof M G Edwards
Applications accepted all year round
Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)
About the Project
Fractures commonly occur in many reservoirs and can have a predominant effect on flow and consequently on predicted oil production and CO2 sequestration. This project will involve multiphase flow modelling in discrete fracture networks embedded in a heterogeneous medium. Integral components of the research will involve unstructured grid generation development to resolve fracture networks and robust high resolution flow equation approximation methods including finite-volume/finite-element methods to capture flow at the fracture scale and reservoir scale. Codes will be written in Fortran, C++ and Matlab. Further details about this project can be found at http://www.swan.ac.uk/staff/academic/engineering/edwardsmichael/.
Funding Notes
Start date April 2012.
Candidates should hold a minimum 2.1 honours degree or UK equivalent in a relevant discipline (including Mathematics, Computational/Numerical Methods, Physics or Engineering) together with a masters degree in computational (numerical) methods (techniques) for partial differential equations. Programming experience in computational methods is essential.
These industrially funded studentships cover full fees together with a stipend of up to £17000 per year depending on qualifications and experience.
To apply send a full CV outlining your research interests and the names and addresses of at least two academic referees to Professor M G Edwards at [Email Address Removed].
