Applications are invited for research studentships in the field of Multiphase Computational Fluid Dynamics, leading to the award of a PhD degree. The post is supported by a bursary and fees (at the UK/EU student rate) from an industrial sponsor. Candidates should therefore fulfil the eligibility criteria for this Award. Please check your suitability at the following web site: http://www.epsrc.ac.uk/skills/students/help/Pages/eligibility.aspx).
The following areas will be covered:
- Large-scale predictions of turbulent gas-solid flows
- Computational model development for liquid sprays and films
- Investigation of expansion cooling in a throttled flow.
The project will focus on model and software development together with our existing team of students and post-docs and within our available in-house codes (http://www.multiflow.org). The project will be performed in collaboration with experimental investigators and have strong industrial support.
You will be an enthusiastic and self-motivated person who meets the academic requirements for enrolment for the PhD degree at Imperial College London.
