hydrodynamics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 24 hydrodynamics PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Effects of flexible vegetation on oscillatory flow hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics

These projects are open to students worldwide, but have no funding attached. Therefore, the successful applicant will be expected to fund tuition fees at the relevant level (home or international) and any applicable additional research costs. Read more

Hydrodynamics of wave powered ships

Supervisory Team.   Dr N.C. Townsend, Prof D.A. Hudson and Dr J.A. Bowker (industrial). Project description. Wave energy can be used to improve the performance of ships and boats. Read more

Impact of Sediment Transport and Vegetation to the Reservoir Hydrodynamics within Fluvial Environment

Reservoirs and dams are popular control mechanisms for different water resources around the world. However, lately, there have been increasing incidences of reservoir failure linked to sediment transport and vegetation within its environment, that have caused massive financial and social impacts. Read more

The Sweet-Spot for Star Formation

CONTEXT. Star formation is one of the most fundamental processes regulating the evolution and appearance of the Universe, with implications for many diverse areas of astronomy. Read more

Star Formation Triggered by Colliding Interstellar Clouds

CONTEXT. Much of the interstellar gas in a galaxy like the Milky Way is in dense molecular clouds. When these clouds enter a spiral arm, they merge to form larger clouds, and are compressed to higher densities. Read more

PhD post in Fluid Mechanics- Experimental modelling of plastic transport in floods

Applications are open for a PhD scholarship at Imperial College London to start by October 2024 (flexible). The PhD project will tackle the transport of plastic (and other litter) during extreme flood conditions. Read more

Multi-physics investigation of spray in a crossflow

Understanding the dynamics of particles (solid and liquid) in a crossflow is essential for many scientific investigations and engineering applications. Read more

On Analysis and Design of Submerged Wave Energy Devices

We invite applications for a Ph.D. position in Marine Hydrodynamics and Ocean Engineering at the University of Dundee, Scotland. The project aims in analyzing new generation of wave energy devices that are fully submerged, namely an Oscillating Submerged Disc, and a Wave Carpet. Read more

Intelligent Maritime Systems: Advancements in Situational Awareness through Artificial Intelligence

Embark on a transformative PhD opportunity in marine engineering, where you will pioneer the development of cutting-edge digital tools and algorithms to enhance the perception capabilities of future intelligent marine systems. Read more

Probing the star-forming ISM with fine structure lines

Supersonic turbulent motions are thought to play a major role in the star formation process in galaxies. Theories have suggested that turbulence is responsible for shaping the interstellar medium (ISM), regulating star formation, and even setting the masses of stars as they form in young clusters. Read more

Passive propulsion in vortex wakes

Supervisory Team. Melike Kurt, Nicholas Townsend, and Gabriel Weymouth. Project description. Dead fish can generate propulsion force in the wake of a cylinder and whales can save energy by following large ship wakes. Read more

Fouling control and cleaning of membrane for water treatment

Supervisory Team.   Yongqiang Liu. Project description. Globally, water scarcity is a pressing issue, affecting between two and three billion people worldwide, as reported by the recent UN World Water Development report. Read more

Innovations in Waste Energy Minimisation from Maritime Engineering Power and Propulsion Systems

Supervisory Team.   Prof Alan J Murphy & Prof Dominic Hudson. Project description. Although maritime transport is one of the most energy efficient, the cumulative carbon footprint from global shipping is equivalent a large industrialised nation (~3% of global total). Read more
