PhD Research Studentships
PhD Studentship: Aeroacoustics of supersonic dual-stream jets
| Supervisor: | s.karabasov@qmul.ac.uk |
| Apply by: | 30 December 2012 |
Description
Supervisors: Dr Sergey A. Karabasov A fully funded PhD position exists in the area of modelling and simulation of noise generation and propagation in dual-stream co-axial jet flows. The goal of the project is to develop and validate new computational modelling techniques in application to jet noise in flight conditions typical of civil aircraft. Depending on the applicant, the project can take one or a few of the following directions: (i) modelling of shock associated jet noise using acoustic analogy methods, (ii) modelling of jet mixing noise with accounting for jet installation effects, (iii) numerical and experimental investigation of noise from a multi-component gas jet. The successful candidate will have a good mathematical background in fluid dynamics. Preference will be given to applicants with a good computational modelling background; however, outstanding candidates with a mixed computational/theoretical/experimental modelling experience are also encouraged to apply. Research Area: Modelling and Simulation in Engineering Systems Keywords: acoustic analogy modelling, high-speed jets, shock-cell noise, computational fluid dynamics and aeroacoustics, multi-component gas flows, near-field PIV and free-field microphone anechoic chamber measurements QMUL Research Studentship Details • Available to Home/EU/International Applicants • Full Time research degree programme only • Applicants will be required to start the degree programme in September/October 2013. • The studentship arrangement will cover tuition fees and provide an annual stipend (£15,590 in 2011/12) for up to three years. • The minimum requirement for this studentship opportunity is a good Honours degree (minimum 2(i) honours or equivalent) or MSc/MRes in a relevant discipline. • Students must be able to demonstrate “a capability to undertake and benefit from research training through to completion, to the standard necessary to qualify for a PhD.” • Some compulsory teaching responsibilities will be required. • International applicants should refer to the following website at http://www.qmul.ac.uk/international/index.html • If English is not your first language then you will require a valid English certificate equivalent to IELTS 6.5+ overall with a minimum score of 5.5 in all sections (Reading, Listening, Writing, Speaking).
