PhD Research Project Type/Funding

Flight mechanics of insects - understanding how insects control and sense aerodynamic forces

University of Leeds
Faculty of Biological Sciences

Research Group: BBSRC White Rose DTP

Dr S.M. Walker, Dr G N Askew

Application Deadline: 7 January 2019

Insects are the most agile and manoeuvrable of all flying animals. However, studying their flight presents a complex challenge. In the time that it takes a human to blink, a blowfly can beat its wings 50 times, powering and controlling each wingbeat using numerous tiny muscles - some as thin as a human hair.

PhD studentship opportunity in coupled fluid and structural modelling of brush seals for rotating machinery

University of Surrey
Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences

Dr M Pekris, Prof J Chew

Applications accepted all year round

Applications are invited for a PhD studentship within the Centre for Aerodynamics at the University of Surrey. Advanced seals such as brush seals offer potential reductions in waste-leakage within the secondary air systems of rotating machines such as gas and steam turbines.
