Project title: Laminar-turbulent transition in high-enthalpy boundary layers
A 3.5 year PhD studentship (covering stipend and fees) is available for a UK student to work in high speed aerodynamics in which the location of transition to turbulence is one of the major unknowns. This project will use a combination of linear stability theory and direct numerical simulation to develop physics-based approaches to transition prediction. The project will extent current computational tools based on single species perfect gas representation to include effects of thermal non-equilibrium. Navier-Stokes simulations will then be run to cover transition to turbulence under different free-stream conditions. Models will be constructed based on linear theories and modal analysis. The successful candidate will have a strong background in compressible flow and computational modelling. https://www.southampton.ac.uk/engineering/about/staff/nds9.page
If you wish to discuss any details of the project informally, please contact Neil Sandham, Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics Research Group, Email: n.sandham@soton.ac.uk , Tel: +44 (0) 2380 594872.
Entry Requirements
A very good undergraduate degree (at least a UK 2:1 honours degree, or its international equivalent).
Closing date: applications should be received no later than 7 November 2021 for standard admissions, but later applications may be considered depending on the funds remaining in place.
Funding: For UK students, Tuition Fees and a stipend of £15,609 tax-free per annum for up to 3.5 years.
How To Apply
Applications should be made online. Select programme type (Research), 2021/22, Faculty of Physical Sciences and Engineering, next page select PhD Engineering & Environment (Full time). In Section 2 of the application form you should insert the name of the supervisor N.D.Sandham
Applications should include:
Curriculum Vitae
Two reference letters
Degree Transcripts to date
Apply online: https://www.southampton.ac.uk/courses/how-to-apply/postgraduate-applications.page
