The aerodynamics of skyscrapers: tall building clusters and the urban environment
By 2050 our cities will host 68% of the world’s population, compared to the current 54%, and 33% in the 1960s. This increase is often accomplished by the proliferation of tall buildings (TBs) that maximise the provision of housing and commerce using a limited street-level footprint. Read more
The effects of cross winds on the aerodynamics of high-speed trains
As a train moves through the air, it generates a slipstream which can result in highly turbulent local wind fields. These turbulent flows can have a detrimental impact on infrastructure, trackside workers and passengers on platforms. Read more
Large eddy simulation of centrifugal Rayleigh-Bénard convection in turbomachinery disc cavities
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the Rolls-Royce supported Thermo-Fluid Systems University Technology Centre at the University of Surrey. Read more

Studentship: Wake modelling of offshore wind turbines in non-neutral atmosphere
The inevitability of climate change1 and net–zero policies across the globe are urgently promoting the need for renewable energies – wind energy is so far the most cost effective – hence, its production will have to increase drastically in the next decade2. Read more
The aerodynamic stability of rail vehicles under crosswinds
Localised high wind conditions can create critical safety implications for the operation of rail vehicles, and in the worst case scenario cause overturning. Read more
PhD studentship: Experimental Fluid Mechanics
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to become a part of a dedicated group working on fundamental and practical aspects of turbulent flows under the supervision of Dr Melika Gul.

Steady-state aerodynamic characteristics of morphing wing with both variable trailing and leading edges in lift high applications.
There has been strong interest in applying innovative morphing wings to the next generation passenger-carrying jets, eco-friendly electric aircraft and drones to improve aerodynamic efficiency, aligning with the sustainability development in future aviation. Read more
