Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)
About the Project
Applications are invited for a fully-funded PhD Studentship working on Aeroacoustics. The successful applicant will join a strong team within the Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) in Gas Turbine Noise at the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), based at the University of Southampton. The UTC group carry out new research to reduce aircraft noise. Reducing aircraft noise is critical to the growth of air transport and to the future of the UK aircraft industry because noise is a major environmental impact of civil aviation.
Work undertaken in this project will focus the development of time domain models for predicting the broadband noise from modern aeroengines. The project will focus on developing efficient methods for representing the turbulent flow in the engine as a function time, which can then be used for efficient computations of the broadband noise. The time domain representation of the turbulent flow should have realistic turbulence statistics. Advances in this area could lead to a revolutionary step changes in our understanding and prediction of this important noise source.
Full funding is available for UK eligible students. The start date will be 25th September 2017. Applicants should have a good first degree in mathematics or a relevant science or engineering subject. Ideally the candidate should have some experience in fluid dynamics and/or acoustics.
This PhD project will be funded as part of the UK governments new Industrial Strategy. The scholarship will cover full UK fees and a stipend of between £16k and £18k per year depending on academic qualifications.
