aerodynamics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 24 aerodynamics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Aero-Engine Aerodynamics PhD - Sponsored by Rolls-Royce and EPSRC

This is a full funded PhD (fees and bursary) in propulsion system aerodynamics in collaboration with Rolls-Royce and EPSRC. Fundamental understanding of aerodynamic flows is at the heart of propulsion system design. Read more

Experimental Aerodynamics and Environmental Flows

PhD Supervisor: Christina Vanderwel. Project description. Join our world-leading experimental fluid mechanics research group with this PhD studentship studying Experimental Aerodynamics and Environmental Flows. Read more

CFD Study of Wind Turbine Aerodynamics

Wind turbine is the main technology that converts wind energy to electricity. The interaction between air flow and the turbine blade are critical to the structure integrity and noise generation of the turbine. Read more

Flow physics of supersonic boundary layers

PhD Supervisor: Neil Sandham. Project description. This project is focused on scale-resolving simulations (large-eddy and direct numerical simulation) combined with analysis to understand complex phenomena in high-speed boundary layers, from transonic up to hypersonic. Read more

Bio-inspired control of non-equilibrium turbulent boundary layers for efficient low-noise aerofoils

  Research Group: Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics
This project aims to study and identify the beneficial effects of using bio-inspired geometry on aerofoils, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency and reducing the noise generated from non-equilibrium turbulent boundary layers. Read more

Insect-Inspired Fluid-Structure Interactions for Resilient Flight

  Research Group: Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics
This project investigates bio-inspired fluid-structure interactions to improve wing resilience under unsteady conditions. By studying how insects adapt to dynamic environments, such as turbulence and surface interactions, we aim to develop innovative strategies for enhancing wing performance. Read more

Development of novel molecular sensors for fluid dynamic applications

Supervisory Team: Dr Hossein Zare-Behtash, Dr John Lawson. Project description. Conducting fluid flow measurements is crucial for engineering applications, providing essential insights into the behaviour of fluids under various conditions. Read more

Design of microflyers for environmental monitoring

In the next decade, distributed sensor network systems made of small flying sensors, from dust-scale to insect-scale, will enable a step change in monitoring natural disasters and remote areas. Read more

Advanced Wind Turbine Control Systems

Wind turbine control is necessary to ensure low maintenance costs and efficient performance. The control system also guarantees safe operation, optimizes power output, and ensures long structural life. Read more
