Geometric fluid mechanics in molecular chemistry
This is a project for highly motivated students with a background in Lagrangian/Hamiltonian mechanics and ideally looking to pursue a research career. Read more
Ship Hull Hydrodynamics
Before applying online, candidates must submit CV and cover letter to Dr Ignazio Maria Viola at. i.m.viola@ed.ac.uk. Read more
Hydrodynamics of Billfish Skin Surface Roughness
The aim of this project is to investigate the hydrodynamics of surface roughness patterns which are modelled on the skin of billfish (e.g. Read more
Droplet Impacts with Functional Surfaces
Droplet interactions with functional surfaces play a crucial role in many important physical processes, from preventing virus laden droplets passing through face masks to reducing the build-up of ice on the surfaces of flying aircraft. Read more
Macroscopic capillary pressure in multi-phase porous media flows
Although multi-phase flow in porous media is an established research field for decades, its theoretical background is still being developed. Read more
Fate and transport of microplastics in inclined gravity currents
Recent research indicates that microplastics – plastic pieces measuring 5 mm or smaller -- are now ubiquitous in the environment, having been found in lakes… Read more
PhD studentship in Partially-Filled Pipe Flow
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield. This PhD project will be supervised by Dr Melika Gul (Department of Mechanical Engineering), Prof Simon Tait (Department of Civil and Structural Engineering) and Dr Paul Dickenson (nuron Ltd).

EPSRC DTP studentship in free surface flow-structure interaction of wood pieces placed over a mobile sediment bed for natural flood management
EPSRC funded project 3.5 years full time starting October 2022. Summary. Nature based solutions for natural flood management have gained popularity as a method to provide floodwater retention and ecological benefits associated with naturally occurring instream wood formations. Read more
Turbulent transport of plastics in water system
A PhD scholarship is available to Australian and international students in the group of Dr Matthias Kramer in the School of Engineering and Information Technology (SEIT) at the University of New South Wales (UNSW Canberra) on turbulent transport of plastics in fluvial systems. Read more
Effect of secondary currents and very large scale motions on water surface dynamics in open-channel flows
Turbulence and secondary currents in open-channel flows such as rivers and canals play key roles in transport of momentum, energy, heat, sediments, nutrients, and other substances. Read more
Effect of secondary currents and very large scale motions on mixing in open-channel flows
Turbulence and secondary currents in open-channel flows such as rivers and canals play key roles in transport of momentum, energy, heat, sediments, nutrients, and other substances. Read more
Fate and transport of microplastics in partially saturated soils
Recent research indicates that microplastics are now ubiquitous in the environment. Read more
Characterisation of flow around bivalve (Pecten maximus) shells
A number of studies have highlighted the ability of freshwater mussels to behave as so-called ecosystem engineers;. actively modifying their local environment through mechanisms such as filtering and passively by modifying bed. Read more
Optimal mixing for confined heterogeneous reaction in NMR spectroscopy
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most useful technique for chemical reaction monitoring because it simultaneously provides kinetic and structural information for all reaction components. Read more
