Title | PhD Studentship in CFD Modelling of Wave Structure Interaction |
Category | PhD Studentship |
Employer | Manchester Metropolitan University |
Location | United Kingdom, Manchester |
International | Yes, international applications are welcome |
Closure Date | Sunday, June 30, 2024 |
Description: |
This is a full-time, funded PhD opportunity in the Faculty of Science and
Engineering. It is open to both Home and Overseas students. Please note that
only Home fees will be covered - eligible overseas students will need to make up
the difference in tuition fee funding.
This opportunity provides an annual stipend of the research council minimum rate
(set by UKRI) of £19,237 for 2024/25.
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aim of the project is to develop an advanced coupled framework for Numerical
Wave Tank (NWT) software with enhanced functionality, accuracy and efficiency
for modelling complex wave structure interaction problems involving moving
structures and multiple flow physics. The aim will be achieved through the
following objectives:
- Implement a dynamic code coupling interface for coupling hierarchical flow and
structural solvers within an NWT.
Optimise multi-model coupling, including designing and implementing conservative
interpolation schemes as well as its implementation on high-performance
computers.
- Apply the developed code to evaluate the performance and survivability of
emerging offshore renewable technologies such as floating wind and wave energy
converters.
- Prepare papers for publication in high-quality scientific journals.
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS OF THE CANDIDATE
Potential candidates should have or expect to obtain a first or upper-second
Honours degree, or equivalent, in Engineering, Mathematics or Physical Sciences.
Knowledge of numerical solutions of partial differential equations and/or fluid
dynamics and good programming skills are essential. A masters degree in a
relevant subject would be an advantage. Experience of applying OpenFOAM and
high-performance computing (HPC) in the context of CFD would be beneficial.
Closing date: 30 June 2024.
