PhD Studentship Scholarships at University of Cambridge in Particle Transport and Sedimentation, UK

University of Cambridge offers Doctoral Studentship Scholarships in Particle transport and sedimentation, UK Scholarships 2011

Study Subject(s): Particle transport and sedimentation
University Scholarships Level: PhD
Scholarship Provider: University of Cambridge
Scholarships 2011 can be taken at: UK

Eligibility:
Applicants should have a 4-year honours undergraduate degree (at least II.I or equivalent) or (preferably) a Masters-level degree in Mathematics, Physics, Earth Sciences or Engineering, or other relevant discipline with a significant mathematical modelling component. Experience in experimental techniques is not required, but an enthusiasm for developing fundamental understanding of real-world fluid dynamical problems using the interplay between data and mathematical modelling is essential. The studentship offers tuition fees and a maintenance grant for 3 years.

Scholarships Description: In a number of natural situations, turbulent buoyant plumes rise through stratified fluids and form laterally spreading neutral clouds: these include volcanic eruption columns in the atmosphere and hydrothermal plumes in the deep ocean. One of the key challenges in modelling such flows concerns the rate of sedimentation of any ash particles or other precipitate from the flow, and the impact of this on the subsequent dynamics of the flow, the ensuing sedimentation from the flow, and the dispersion of the particles through convective mixing with the ambient fluid. This project, supervised by Prof Andy Woods will investigate some of these issues through a combination of experimental and theoretical modelling. For more details contact Prof Andy Woods.
The BP Institute for Multiphase Flow was established in 2000 by a generous endowment from BP, which has funded faculty positions, support staff and the Institute Building, in perpetuity. The Institute research focuses on fundamental problems with industrial or environmental relevance and is highly interdisciplinary, spanning six University Departments: Earth Sciences, Applied Mathematics & Theoretical Physics, Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Engineering, and Physics.
