You will join the internationally recognised researchers in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Coastal erosion is a major problem along the coasts of the UK and has been considered as a major national challenge. As the weather is becoming more severe, and more intense storms are coming to the shores of the UK, it is projected that the coastal cliff erosion/collapse would speed up. This project is aimed at developing a numerical model for the case of severe coastal erosion occurring along the UK coasts. The model will be validated using the existing erosion data and then will be employed to study the effects of extreme storm scenarios.
Please contact Dr Mohammad Heidarzadeh at [Email Address Removed] to arrange an informal discussion about this project.
Skills and Experience
Applicants are required to demonstrate their ability to apply numerical simulations in Coastal Engineering using open-source numerical packages such as OpenFOAM and TELEMAC. You should be highly motivated, able to work independently as well as in a team, collaborate with others and have good communication skills.
Academic Entry Criteria
You will have or be expected to receive a 1st class or 2:1 honours degree in Civil Engineering or a similar discipline. A masters degree is not required but may be an advantage. If applicable, you should hold an English Language proficiency qualification of or equivalent to an overall score of IELTS 6.5 (minimum 6.0 in all sections).
