Fluid Mechanics (material) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 31 Fluid Mechanics (material) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Last chance to apply

Physics-based Multi-scale Modelling of Multi-Material Additive Manufacturing

Project Details. Additive manufacturing (AM) is emerging as a promising alternative for designing multi-material parts for complex geometries in engineering applications; especially in the biomedical sector. 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

Novel Material (MOFs) Synthesis using Microfluidic Reactor

Project description. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), composed of organic linkers and metal nodes, are a class of crystalline porous materials with great application potential. Read more

Thermally driven flows in solidification processes

PROJECT SUMMARY (a short summary - max 40 words). With this project, we propose a numerical investigation into a variety of dynamics and effects produced by the interaction of an advancing solidification front with thermally-driven convection in the melt. Read more

Exploring Advanced Materials for Mitigating Cavitation Damage

Supervisory Team.   Ivo Peters. Project description. Cavitation damage poses a substantial threat to equipment across various industries, impacting performance, increasing maintenance costs, causing downtime, and posing safety and environmental risks. Read more

Three-dimensional hybrid composites for repair and recycling PhD

This PhD research opportunity focuses on the development of self-healing three-dimensional metal-composite hybrid materials. These will use through-thickness reinforcement to embed metallic elements, acting as a means of targeted heat introduction, to activate re-processable matrices like thermoplastics or vitrimers. Read more

Self-assembly of nanoparticles on thin films and droplets of surfactant-polymer mixes

Many types of nanomaterials rely on the self-assembly process of their corresponding nanoparticles. Soft matter thin films are often used as templates to direct the assembly of the nanoparticles into desired arrangements. 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

Electronically Controlled Adaptive AM Heat Exchanger (eHEX)

Electronically Controlled Adaptive AM Heat Exchanger (eHEX). The Postgraduate Research Programme Innovation in Digital Manufacturing and Design (IDMD) offers 12 PhD research scholarships in 12 separate projects to commence in 2024. Read more

Traceable characterisation of a novel ultrafine aerosol source for improved instrument calibration

This project aims to develop a commercial Silver Particle Generator (SPG) into a cutting-edge calibration facility for the UK. The SPG is a new particle generator that offers potential for both particle number and mass calibrations. Read more

Microfluidic-assisted particle manipulation in complex fluid environments for biomedical and engineering applications

We are delighted to offer two new PhD positions (one experimental and one numerical) on “particle manipulation in complex fluid environments for biomedical and engineering applications” at Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering - University of Strathclyde. Read more
