Swansea University

It is an excellent opportunity to join the Zienkiewicz Centre for Computational Engineering (ZCCE) at Swansea University, which is renowned for its breakthrough work in computational modeling and engineering applications. The Faculty of Science & Engineering’s research environment was rated as being over 93% world-leading or internationally good in the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2021. The project’s goal is to provide PhD students with a top-notch, rigorous research education through cooperative research.

To reach its aim of zero emissions, the aircraft industry has chosen hydrogen as the propulsion fuel. The usage of cryogenic hydrogen is considered to be the most viable option. Technical difficulties including flashback and flame instability make the stable combustion of cryogenic hydrogens difficult. Building robust and reliable forecasting tools is urgently required to support the challenging and expensive experimental research, which is driven by complex physics combining cryogenic jets, high heat and mass transfer, phase shift, multiphase flow, ignition, and flame.

The project’s objectives are to develop state-of-the-art modeling techniques based on the internal high-fidelity simulation code currently used for the multiphase reactive flow of cryogenic hydrogen and to collect data from numerical simulations that can be used to analyze physicochemical processes in order to learn more about this relatively new scientific field. Methods for hydrogen injection, effective mixing, and stable operation will be developed under suitable operating conditions. The study’s objective is to construct a theoretical foundation for the operational principles of the hydrogen combustion system.

The individual in the position will gain experience in:

• Computational fluid mechanics, which makes use of advanced numerical modeling and simulation techniques;

• Analytical techniques, turbulent combustion theory, and multiphase flow theory;

• Development and application of highly accurate numerical models;

• A method for obtaining aviation that is net-zero.

• taking part in cross-disciplinary teams.

The selected candidate will also need to publish publications to esteemed journals and present their work at key international conferences.

Advocate Value

This scholarship provides a £16,062 stipend in addition to covering the full cost of tuition.

Additional research expenses will also be paid for.

Eligibility

Candidates must normally hold a 2.1-level undergraduate degree in engineering or a closely related scientific field (or the non-UK equivalent according to Swansea University’s criteria). Additionally, there are country-specific resources for both international and European applicants in 2019.

Prior exposure to combustion, computational fluid dynamics, and aerospace propulsion would be ideal. Engineering professionals with experience in mechanical, aerospace, or related industries are encouraged to apply.

You must have an overall IELTS score of 6.5 (with a minimum of 5.5 in each of its component parts), or a Swansea accepted equivalent, if applicable. You may read more about the English language requirements for admission to Swansea University here.

This scholarship is open to all applicants, regardless of nationality.

If you have a degree from a nation other than the UK, please check Swansea University’s degree comparisons to see if you qualify.

If you have any questions concerning your academic or fee eligibility in light of the aforementioned requirements, please send an email to [email protected] along with the website of the scholarship(s) you are interested in.
