Analysis of post-combustion CO2 capture from natural gas power plants using CFD and process co-simulation

The use of natural gas as a fuel for electricity production is expected to gradually increase in the next decades. Since it is acknowledged that large CO2 emission cuts should be achieved in the near future, it seems plausible that these systems may have to be coupled to CO2 capture schemes. Read more

Modelling gas-microdroplet interaction and dispersion for decontamination applications

Are you interested in pursuing a PhD in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) at the University of Edinburgh? We are currently looking to recruit a talented, hardworking, and passionate PhD student to study the interactive and dispersive behaviour of different sterilant formulations during the decontamination of materials with complex geometries and the disinfection of indoor spaces. Read more

Numerical investigation of MHD systems coupling the induction formulation with thermal models

The department of Astronautical, Electrical and Energy Engineering at the Sapienza University of Rome is inviting applications for the following fully funded PhD project/studentship, expected to commence November 2024. Read more

Adjoint based optimization of vertical axis wind turbines

Recently vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) have been more installed in urban areas than before. They are known to perform better in urban regions compared to horizontal axis wind turbines as they do not require alignment to the oncoming flow. Read more

CFD Study of Wind Turbine Aerodynamics

Wind turbine is the main technology that converts wind energy to electricity. The interaction between air flow and the turbine blade are critical to the structure integrity and noise generation of the turbine. Read more

CFD modelling and advanced burner designs

A substantial amount of current activity on oxyfuel combustion capture is still at the conceptual design stage, encompassing a broad range of fuels and power systems, including the development of alternative system configurations that maximize overall efficiency and minimize estimated capital and operating costs. Read more

Study of turbulence in fusion technology using high fidelity simulations

A fully-funded PhD Studentship with an enhanced stipend of £2,500 for 3.5 years is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Sheffield to study turbulence in fusion technology using advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Read more

Experimental Investigation of Singular Two-phase Pressure Losses Relevant to Nuclear System Thermal-hydraulic Applications

A fully funded 4-year EPSRC ICASE PhD Studentship, co-sponsored by Westinghouse, is available in the Nuclear Futures Institute at Bangor University to design and perform experiments at the THOR loop to measure two-phase pressure drop across selected simple geometrical singularities within a relevant range of conditions. Read more

Investigating the influence of structural openings on blast wave propagation and human injury risk

Supervisory Team: Dr Jack Denny; Prof Steeve Chung Kim Yuen (University of Cape Town). Project description. This PhD offers you the opportunity to tackle the real-world challenge of developing strategies to protect buildings and their occupants from explosions. Read more

Advanced computational modelling of nanobubble cavitation dynamics

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
