University of Surrey, UK is inviting excellent candidates to apply for a PhD position in mechanical engineering. Applications will be evaluated on a continuous basis.

This research will investigate the complex flow and heat transfer occurring in gas turbines, aiming to improve current design methods and understanding in industry. Initial investigations will employ advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to investigate flow regimes relevant to the industrial partner Siemens Power. Where appropriate, comparisons will be made with experimental data from the University of Bath. Further studies are expected to develop and evaluate hybrid modelling strategies suitable for use in industry. These will be physics-based but may include use of correlations of experimental and computational results.
This project will be conducted in collaboration with Siemens Power and the University of Bath, where complimentary experimental investigations are conducted. Project supervisors are Professor John Chew and Dr Feng Gao. Prof. Chew was the founding director of the Rolls-Royce TFSUTC at Surrey from 2003 to 2013, and is an established international authority in turbomachinery thermo-fluid systems and rotating flows. Dr Gao joined the University from Ecole Centrale de Lyon in 2015 and is an expert in large eddy simulation.
The student will join the Aerodynamics and Environmental Flow research group in the Department of Mechanical Engineering Sciences
All applicants should have (or expect to obtain) a first classor high upper second degree in engineering or mathematics. Applicants must be from the UK.
Applications can be made through ourAerodynamic and Environmental Flow PhDcourse page. Please state the project title and supervisor clearly on yourapplication.
Initial enquiries should be sent to Professor John Chew (j.chew@surrey.ac.uk).
This is a directly funded project subject to EPSRC eligibility criteria, fees and a stipend of 14,057 p.a. For UK students only.
