Machine learning for optimisation of cycling performance using real-time aerodynamics
Applicants are invited to undertake a 3 year PhD program in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Kent in partnership with Body Rocket Ltd. Read more
Developing the dielectric barrier discharge surface plasma actuators to improve the aerodynamics and aeroacoustics performances of aerofoil
In the aerospace industry, great emphasis is always placed on the lifting components to achieve high-lift, low-drag and low-noise performances. Read more
PhD Studentship Opportunity: Numerical Investigation of the Flow and Structural Deflections in Advanced Adaptable Seals that Operate in Harsh Environments within Rotating Machinery
The aim of this project is to investigate the flow and dynamic effects in advanced compliant seals and to propose improvements in the design which result in more robust sealing technologies and lower fuel burn. Read more
Novel Methods for Rotorcraft Engine Propulsion Integration PhD
Introduction . Cranfield University has been at the forefront of rotorcraft research for the last 13 years, having an established track record on rotorcraft modelling, performance, and propulsion integration. Read more
SCENARIO: The effect of non-neutral winds on wind power aerodynamics (ref. SC2022_28)
According to the UK government, offshore wind is intended to deliver 40GW of by 2030. As our society becomes ever-more dependent on wind power, it is increasingly important to gain a deeper understanding and more accurate predictability of our wind power availability to guarantee a greener future.

SCENARIO: The aerodynamics of skyscrapers: tall building clusters and the urban environment (ref. SC2022_15)
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
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
Development of Systems Modelling Methods for Aerodynamic Control in Very Low Earth Orbits
Operation of spacecraft in very low Earth orbits (VLEO), those below 450 km in altitude, is generally avoided due to the significantly increased atmospheric density and therefore aerodynamic drag that either requires propulsive compensation or can critically limit the operational lifetime of the satellite. Read more
Aero-engine intake Aerodynamic Design and Optimisation PhD
With the continuing need for new air vehicle systems with aero-engines, there is a need for closer integration of the propulsion system and the airframe. Read more
The Effects of Serrations on the Aerodynamic Performance of F-1 Race car Wing with a Slotted Flap
In F-1 race car aerodynamics, it is essential to create considerable downforce to provide good traction for faster acceleration, braking and cornering. Read more
Next Generation of Quiet and Aerodynamically Efficient Aerofoil
Applications are sought for a self-funded PhD student to undertake 36-month research into fan broadband noise reduction at Brunel University London. Read more
Application of non-linear boat-tail configurations to the drag reduction of commercial road vehicles
The optimisation of the aerodynamic drag of road vehicles is a very important research area both economically and ecologically. Within the UK, these vehicles continue to be the largest contributor within the transport sector to greenhouse gas emissions, constituting 28% of all emissions in 2018. Read more
Reliable AI for solving partial differential equations
In recent years, significant advances in machine learning and data analysis have been achieved which have the potential to transform many areas of engineering, science, and technology, as well as in commerce and public policy. Read more
