Fluid Mechanics (funding available) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 65 Fluid Mechanics (funding available) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Climate-Optimised Aircraft Design

Supervisory Team: Edward Richardson; Ali Elham. Project description. The condensation trail (contrail) emissions of future low-CO2 aircraft will be assessed as part of a climate-optimised aircraft design methodology. Read more

Efficient Cryostasis for Transport of Liquid Hydrogen

Supervisory Team: Edward Richardson; Stephen Turnock. Project description. Liquid hydrogen (LH2) storage and transport enables flexible exploitation of potentially carbon-free energy. Read more

Climate resilient submerged infrastructure

Supervisory Team: Dr Gustavo de Almeida; Dr Sergio Maldonado. Project description. Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position on the investigation of novel design methods to improve the resilience of submerged infrastructure (i.e. 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

Low-noise Ducted Propulsion Systems for Next-Gen eVTOL Platforms

Supervisory Team.   Phillip Joseph, Sergi Palleja Cabre and Chaitanya Paruchuri. Project description. Overview. Electrically-powered vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are poised to revolutionize transportation, contributing significantly to the UK economy. Read more

Transition to turbulence in hypersonic flow applications

Supervisory Team.   Neil Sandham. Project description. You will join a group of PhD students and post-doctoral researchers using high performance computing to advance understanding of high speed aerodynamics. Read more

Analytical Modelling of Noise Sources in eVTOL Aircraft for Advanced Air Mobility

Supervisory Team.   Chaitanya Paruchuri, Phillip Joseph and Sergi Palleja Cabre. Project description. Overview. Electrically-powered vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are poised to revolutionize transportation, contributing significantly to the UK economy. Read more

Mathematical Modelling of High Energy Density Laser-Substrate Interactions

The project is to contribute to a major Ministry of Defence (MOD) research programme intended to develop generation after next technologies for applications in defence and security, and this project will be co-funded by MBDA. Read more

Mathematical and computational modelling of diffusion-driven material ageing

This project will consider systems of reaction-advection-diffusion equations both computationally and analytically. These find application to modelling corrosion/ageing in materials, where diffusion of a reactant into the bulk material and its subsequent reaction leads to the growth of unwanted corrosion products. Read more

Microbubble Coalescence in Turbulence

Supervisory Team.   Dr John Lawson. Project description. Applications are invited for a fully funded PhD position on applying computer vision (CV) and machine learning (ML) approaches to experimentally measure and model coalescence in turbulent dispersed multiphase flow. Read more
