CFD for Compressible Flows
Fluid Mechanics and Computational Science Group, Department of Aerospace Sciences
Applications are invited for a three-year PhD studentship, offering a 3-year bursary and tuition fees. Applicants should have a good Upper Second or First Class degree either in engineering, physics, applied mathematics or computer science. The project concerns the development and application of innovative computational fluid dynamics methods for combustion in compressible flows, with application to ramjet and scramjet flow physics.
The successful applicant will have the opportunity to get involved with the state-of-the-art computational fluid dynamics methods and high-performance parallel computing, while s/he will also benefit from the interaction with several other members of the group and industrial sponsors in the aerospace sector. The research group at Cranfield has ongoing collaboration with several academic and research establishments, as well as industry in the UK, Europe and the USA, in the areas of computational fluid dynamics and fluid mechanics.
