  Macroscopic capillary pressure in multi-phase porous media flow
Aberdeen University School of Engineering
  Prof D Pokrajac, Dr Y Tanino
Applications accepted all year round
Although multi-phase flow in porous media is an established research field for decades, its theoretical background is still being developed.

  Hybrid pore-scale modelling of two-phase flow in porous media
University of Manchester School of Chemical Engineering & Analytical Science
  Dr V Niasar
Applications accepted all year round
Understanding two-phase flow dynamics in porous media is essential for many applications including petroleum engineering, hydrogeology, contaminant transport in groundwater, and chemical engineering industry.

  Forecasting of catastrophic failure in porous media
University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences
  Prof I Main, Dr A Bell
Application Deadline: 10 January 2019
Catastrophic brittle failure of porous materials results from the co-operative behaviour of a large population of growing micro-cracks, eventually organising themselves to produce a through-going fault.

  Fluid flows through porous obstacles
Aberdeen University School of Engineering
  Prof D Pokrajac, Dr D Van der A
Applications accepted all year round
Environmental and industrial fluid mechanics problems often involve flows through porous obstacles. Examples of practical applications include flow through atmospheric and aquatic vegetation, offshore structures, buildings exposed to flooding and arrays of turbines in tidal channels.

  Raindrops, pesticides, and oil spills – droplet interactions with porous and textured surfaces
Aberdeen University School of Engineering
  Dr P D Hicks, Dr Y Tanino
Applications accepted all year round
Droplet interactions with porous and textured surfaces play a crucial role in many important physical processes including the spraying of plant leaves with…
