Aerospace Engineering (investigation) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

We have 22 Aerospace Engineering (investigation) PhD Projects, Programmes & Scholarships

Multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high temperature high pressure water for nuclear power plants

We are pleased to present an exciting PhD opportunity in collaboration with Rolls-Royce, providing a unique chance for candidates to participate in a multiscale investigation of corrosion deposition in high-temperature, high-pressure water for nuclear power plants. Read more

Multi-physics investigation of spray in a crossflow

Understanding the dynamics of particles (solid and liquid) in a crossflow is essential for many scientific investigations and engineering applications. Read more

An investigation into droplet splashing and levitation phenomena in multiphase systems

PROJECT SUMMARY (a short summary - max 40 words).  . With this project, we propose an investigation into a variety of dynamics and effects produced by the interaction of a droplet or a group of droplets with a solid or liquid surface. Read more

Computational investigation of aerodynamic characteristics of a morphing wing configuration

Smart structures technology, particularly the bio-inspired morphing and multifunctional wing architectures are among the most promising technologies for the improvement of aerodynamic performance in large civil aircraft. Read more

Investigation of the lifetime limiting effects within electrospray thruster spacecraft propulsion

Supervisory Team.   Dr Charlie Ryan, Dr Alex Wittig. Project description. Typical high performance electric propulsion options for large satellites, such as gridded ion thrusters or Hall Effect thrusters, do not work well for nano satellites. Read more

Investigation of the potential of using magnetic reconnection as the method of acceleration within spacecraft propulsion

Supervisory Team.   Dr Charlie Ryan, Dr Alex Wittig. Project description. This PhD project will aim to investigate the potential of using magnetic reconnection within a plasma propulsion thruster for spacecraft, and exciting and novel topic within the field. Read more

Thermally driven flows in solidification processes

PROJECT SUMMARY (a short summary - max 40 words). With this project, we propose a numerical investigation into a variety of dynamics and effects produced by the interaction of an advancing solidification front with thermally-driven convection in the melt. Read more
