GREENCDT Physics-informed data-driven models to characterise the effect of surface defects on flow boiling phenomena
This project will primarily be based in The University of Manchester. Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of nuclear thermal hydraulics, leading to the award of a PhD degree. Read more
GREENCDT Data driven models for accurate prediction of nucleate boiling on oxidised surfaces.
This project will primarily be based at The University of Manchester. Numerical prediction of boiling flow is a challenging area of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Read more
Radiative transfer for particles in high temperature environments
Heat transfer to solid-phase particles is an important phenomenon for many flows of practical interest. Modelling will play a key role in the design of optimisation of these systems, however there is a need to adapt currently adopted models for calculating the heat transfer to the solid phase particles.

Study of Heat Transfer in Sodium Cooled Fast Reactor (SFR)
Sodium cooled fast reactor is one of the six advanced nuclear reactor designs that have been identified by the Generation IV International Forum (GIF) to be further developed for potential deployment by 2030. 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
Physics informed deep learning for fusion thermal hydraulics.
Magnetic confinement of plasma in a tokamak device offers a promising route towards commercial fusion power. A significant challenge, however, is the high heat loading of the plasma-facing components (the blanket and divertor). Read more
Molecular understanding of near-surface thermal gradients in cooling fluids to improve battery lifetime and thermal management
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of “Molecular understanding of near-surface thermal gradients in cooling fluids to improve battery lifetime and thermal management”, leading to the award of a PhD degree. It is a collaborative effort across three Departments at Imperial College (including Prof. Read more
Enhancing Performance of Structural Materials for Nuclear Applications Through Optimising Grain Refinement in Forming and Heat Treatment
In this project, you will develop a predictive model of the material response to high temperature processing. You will need to develop skills for both forming and heat treatment simulation in addition to an in depth understanding of the physical metallurgy of steels for the nuclear sector. Read more
Direct numerical modelling of boiling phenomena
Applications are invited for a research studentship in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation, leading to the award of a PhD degree. Read more
PhD in Chemistry and Engineering - Novel Inorganic Composite Materials for Thermochemical Seasonal Thermal Energy Storage
With soaring fuel costs and demands, sustainable heat storage – “a rechargeable thermal battery” is a technology that could revolutionise domestic and industrial settings economically and environmentally. Read more
Has the way we teach engineering and science helped to cause climate change?
Since the industrial revolution and the development of the science upon which it was built--equilibrium thermodynamics, chemistry, energy transfer and so on--education in science has tended to introduce key concepts in simplified ways. Read more
Novel modular and eco-designed PEM electrolyser integrated with solar energy for green hydrogen production (RENU22-R/EE/MCE/XING)
The EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Renewable Energy Northeast Universities (ReNU)is a collaborative doctoral training programme run by the Universities of Northumbria, Newcastle and Durham. Read more
