4-year CASE Studentship: System Optimisation Using Aerodynamic Insert

Loughborough University - Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering

Qualification Type: PhD
Location: Loughborough University, Loughborough
Funding for: UK Students
Funding amount: £20,668 UK Fully-Funded tax-free stipend per annum
Hours: Full Time
Placed On: 15th March 2023
Closes: 19th May 2023
Reference: AAE-DB-2122
 

Applications are invited for a four-year industry-sponsored CASE PhD studentship, funded by EPSRC and Caterpillar in the Innovation and Research Centre at Loughborough University. The project will develop a novel methodology for designing flow features within ducted flows using a combination of experimental and computation approaches.

In order to reduce our impact on the environment including emissions and energy consumption, the efficiency of aerodynamic and fluid systems must be maximised. However, components often see sub-optimal input - or boundary - conditions which can impact their efficiency, effectiveness and lifespan. This project will use initially use fundamental, canonical flows to develop a methodology for designing desired flow structures or removal of flow structures. The researcher will then work together with the project sponsor to apply the methodology to a number of industrial flow systems, in order to improve component and system efficiency.

As a part of the Applied Aerodynamics research group, the doctoral researcher will have access to high-performance computing and CFD simulation packages as well as optical diagnostic techniques such as planar and tomographic PIV (for 3D measurements) and Refractive Index Matching facilities. They will work closely with the project sponsor and give regular progress updates to the Caterpillar Innovation and Research Centre and during the final year, will spend a minimum of 3 months on-site.

Funding

Tuition fees cover the cost of your teaching, assessment and operating University facilities such as the library, IT equipment and other support services. University fees and charges can be paid in advance and there are several methods of payment, including online payments and payment by instalment. Fees are reviewed annually and are likely to increase to take into account inflationary pressures.

Funding is available for four years and provides tuition fees at the UK rate plus an enhanced tax-free stipend of £20,668 per annum. Project funding is also available for travel and consumables, such as attendance at international conferences.

The project is funded by EPSRC and an industrial sponsor via a CASE award. Note, due to funding restrictions, the studentship is only available to applicants with UK residency. In order to qualify for UK fees, you must meet the EPSRC eligibility criteria including the minimum UK residency requirement.
