The Effects of Serrations on the Aerodynamic Performance of F-1 Race car Wing with a Slotted Flap
In F-1 race car aerodynamics, it is essential to create considerable downforce to provide good traction for faster acceleration, braking and cornering. Read more
Steady-State Aerodynamic Characteristics of Morphing Wing With Both Variable Trailing And Leading Edges In Lift High Applications
There have been strong interests in applying innovative morphing wings to the next generation passenger-carrying jets, eco-friendly electric aircraft and drones to improve aerodynamic efficiency, aligning with the sustainability development in future aviation. Read more
Aerodynamic optimization of wind farms
Wind farms, as a main technology to convert wind energy into electricity faces challenges in improving its efficiency and reducing costs. Read more
Machine Learning for sensing and control of dynamic stall in realistic conditions
Dynamic stall is an aerodynamic phenomenon that can occur on lifting surfaces in extreme conditions, such as gust encounters and rapid manoeuvres, and is characterised by the formation and convection of a distinct, rotating flow structure - the Dynamic Stall Vortex (DSV). Read more
Aerodynamic and Aero-acoustic Performance Optimisation for the eVTOL Wing in Air-taxi concept.
There have recently been many concepts for electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft in urban air mobility scenario for both short and mid-range applications. Read more
The aerodynamic stability of rail vehicles under crosswinds
Localised high wind conditions can create critical safety implications for the operation of rail vehicles, and in the worst case scenario cause overturning. Read more
Novel Methods for the Characterisation of Helicopter Aero-acoustics PhD
Cranfield University has been at the forefront of rotorcraft research for the last 13 years, having an established track record on rotorcraft modelling, performance, aero-mechanics, and aero-acoustics. Read more
Propulsion system intake design and unsteady aerodynamics PhD
The design of compact intakes is considered a vital technology in the development of next generation ducted propulsion systems. Compact intakes are expected to provide benefits in terms of fuel burn reduction through cruise drag benefits as well as a reduction in the mass of the overall propulsion system. Read more
Studentship: Wake modelling of offshore wind turbines in non-neutral atmosphere
The inevitability of climate change1 and net–zero policies across the globe are urgently promoting the need for renewable energies – wind energy is so far the most cost effective – hence, its production will have to increase drastically in the next decade2. Read more
Large eddy simulation of centrifugal Rayleigh-Bénard convection in turbomachinery disc cavities
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the Rolls-Royce supported Thermo-Fluid Systems University Technology Centre at the University of Surrey. Read more
Data-driven modelling of laminar-turbulent transition in wall-bounded flows
Transition from a laminar to a turbulent state in a fluid flow is a widely observed phenomenon occurring in a large variety of natural and engineering applications. Read more
The aerodynamics of skyscrapers: tall building clusters and the urban environment
By 2050 our cities will host 68% of the world’s population, compared to the current 54%, and 33% in the 1960s. This increase is often accomplished by the proliferation of tall buildings (TBs) that maximise the provision of housing and commerce using a limited street-level footprint. Read more
Development of Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) for Low Speed Wind Tunnel Testing
Pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) is a state-of-the-art measurement technology used with great success in transonic wind tunnel testing to globally measure the surface pressure on an aerodynamic shape. Read more
PhD studentship: Experimental Fluid Mechanics
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to become a part of a dedicated group working on fundamental and practical aspects of turbulent flows under the supervision of Dr Melika Gul.
