PhD in Fluid and Complex Systems - Engineering Systems

The breadth of research activity within our centre means that we are home to a varied and dynamic research culture. Our students are very important to us, and we put them at the heart of our research in order to ensure they gain the most benefit. We welcome applications from suitably qualified self-funded or sponsored PhD candidates that relate to our current research themes: Engineering Systems We combine analytical, experimental and numerical methods to gain fundamental understanding and establish quantitative models of various phenomena in which fluid mechanics is key. We also tackle major scientific challenges of concurrent flow measurement and modelling. Combining cutting edge measurement with theory, our research allows accurate process control, management and optimisation, providing unrivalled predictive flow capabilities.

A minimum of a 2:1 first degree in a relevant discipline/subject area with a minimum 60 percentage mark in the project element or equivalent with a minimum 60 percentage overall module average. In the event of a first degree classification of less than 2:1, a Masters Degree in a relevant subject area will be considered as an equivalent. The Masters must have been attained with minimum overall marks at merit level (60 percentage) (Or higher where stipulated against a specific opportunity). In addition, the dissertation or equivalent element in the Masters must also have been attained with a minimum mark of merit level (60 percentage).
