Droplet Impacts with Functional Surfaces

Aberdeen University School of Engineering
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
 Supervisor: Dr P D Hicks
 Year round applications  PhD Research Project  Self-Funded PhD Students Only
More Details

Advanced computational modelling of nanobubble cavitation dynamics

University of Edinburgh School of Engineering
Rapid changes in pressure, such as in high-frequency ultrasound, can stimulate bubbles to nucleate, oscillate, and collapse violently, in a phenomenon known as cavitation. Read more
 Supervisor: Dr DD Dockar
 15 May 2024  PhD Research Project  Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

Drop Impacts on Microstructured Surfaces

University of Auckland Department of Physics
How can we control droplets as they land on surfaces, roll over, or spread across surfaces? Understanding and management of droplet dynamics are of critical and increasing importance due to their relevance in areas such as climate physics, disease transmission, food production, and heat transfer technologies.

Flight mechanics and stability in birds during extreme manoeuvres of take-off and landing

The University of Manchester Department of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering
During take-off birds accelerate primarily through from the ground reaction force, with aerodynamics playing a lesser role. In landing things are quite different; birds use mainly aerodynamic drag on the wings to decelerate, with the legs bringing them finally to rest after touchdown. Read more
