Study Area Laminar-turbulent transition, particularly in compressible shear flows, is a crucial phenomenon with significant implications for engineering applications. This transition process affects the performance of systems, including increased drag, heat transfer, and fuel consumption, especially in high-speed flow systems.
Scholarship Description This fully-funded PhD studentship at Coventry University aims to delve into the instabilities and laminar-turbulent transition in compressible shear flows. The research project also seeks to develop a new physics-based framework for optimizing flow control. By achieving a deeper understanding of compressible turbulence, this initiative aims to minimize drag and enhance fuel efficiency in fluid flow systems. This scholarship will have a far-reaching impact on the field of engineering, particularly in aerodynamics.
Eligibility This scholarship opportunity is open to both UK and international (including EU) graduates who meet the necessary entry requirements. Applicants should hold a bachelor’s (honours) degree in a relevant discipline with a minimum classification of 2:1 and a minimum mark of 60% in the project element (or equivalent). Additionally, non-native English speakers must demonstrate proficiency (IELTS Academic score of 7.0 or TOEFL iBT score of 95). Candidates should also have or be on course for a BSc or MSc degree in mechanical or aerospace engineering, applied mathematics, or physics.
Required Documents In addition to meeting the specified criteria, applicants are expected to possess knowledge of programming languages such as C++, Fortran, MATLAB, etc., and experience with parallel computing is advantageous but not mandatory.
