Marine Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in the UK

We have 62 Marine Engineering PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships in the UK

Effects of flexible vegetation on oscillatory flow hydrodynamics and sediment dynamics

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

Improving technical efficiency in Rowing

Supervisory Team:  Dr Joseph Banks, Dr Dominic Taunton, Prof Stephen Turnock. Project description.  The sport of Rowing presents the engineer with a complex multi-physics challenge where marginal performance gains can make the difference between success and failure. Read more

Monitoring and evaluation of composite pipes using structural waves

Supervisory Team.   Dr Michal Kalkowski, Prof Michele Meo. Project description. We invite applications for a PhD position in the field of non-destructive evaluation (NDE) of composite pipes. Read more

Hydrodynamics of wave powered ships

Supervisory Team.   Dr N.C. Townsend, Prof D.A. Hudson and Dr J.A. Bowker (industrial). Project description. Wave energy can be used to improve the performance of ships and boats. Read more

Bio-Inspired Models and Biologically Plausible Mechanisms for Long-Term Motion Learning

Biological systems can learn from interactions with their environment throughout their lifetime. Learning is a defining ability of biological systems, whereby experience leads to behavioral adaptations that improve performance. Read more

Innovations in Waste Energy Minimisation from Maritime Engineering Power and Propulsion Systems

Supervisory Team.   Prof Alan J Murphy & Prof Dominic Hudson. Project description. Although maritime transport is one of the most energy efficient, the cumulative carbon footprint from global shipping is equivalent a large industrialised nation (~3% of global total). Read more

Efficient manoeuvres for vortex-foil interactions

Supervisory Team.   Bharathram Ganapathisubramani and Sergio Araujo-Estrada. Project description. In recent years, aerial and underwater autonomous vehicles have seen significant growth. Read more

Experimental measurements of pressure gradient history effects on turbulent boundary layers

Supervisory Team.   Bharathram Ganapathisubramani and John Lawson. Project description. Turbulent boundary layers subjected to pressure gradients are found in a wide range of engineering applications and environmental flows. Read more

MultiModal Subsea Cable Tracking (MuST)

The successful applicants will join Heriot-Watt University and the National Robotarium, a world-leading research and development facility, which will translate cutting-edge research in robotics and related research fields into technologies to create disruptive innovation in an expanding global market, delivering sustainable economic benefit to Edinburgh, the UK and beyond. Read more

Identification and classification of coherent flow structures in the plasma of the Sun’s photosphere

The Sun is a star with a cyclic magnetic activity that can impact all the solar system. Thus, the solar magnetic field can interact with the Earth's magnetic field, permitting the entrance of energetic particles in the upper atmosphere, affecting technological devices, telecommunications and human health.
