PhD Studentship: A Numerical Approach to Simulations of High-speed Intake

Flows in high-speed intakes involve multiple shock and boundary layers interaction, reflections, expansions, formation of separation bubbles and transition to turbulent flows under high rates of heat transfer. Accurate numerical representation of such flows requires turbulence treatments beyond RANS, shock capturing methods, and high quality computational...

The AAE department at Loughborough University has a rich track record of research in tyre and friction modelling. A significant part of this expertise was developed in collaboration with industry and this project is supported by a prominent industry partner. Tyre-road friction determines the capability of a tyre to generate forces on any terrain – an...

Shape, topology and chemistry of materials and structures are the ingredients to achieve multifunctionality. Combining mechanical and thermal, or permeability and bio-instructive properties in the same high-performance product require novel design, manufacture, and validation techniques, both in silico and experimentally. Traditionally this process takes a...

This studentship will seek to better understand the holistic development of elite junior tennis players, by establishing the technical, tactical and physical characteristics of match play and training.The findings will be used to enhance junior players' training programmes and ultimately support their transition to full-time professional tennis.This PhD...

This collaborative PhD opportunity is supported by the 3Pillars Project which is a not-for-profit Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). 3Pillars Project launched a new 5-year strategy to grow and share their work in summer 2024. In addition, they were granted £300,000 by the National Lottery Community Fund to deliver their GAMEPLAN intervention over...

DC Microgrids (MG) can connect various renewable generators and energy storage and play a vital role in the goal of reaching Net Zero.The overall management of a DC MG relies on reliable communication and information flow between power electronic interfaces. Dual modulation of power and data is an emerging technology for DG MGs, where data is transmitted on...

Women's engagement in sport and exercise is heavily influenced by the stage of their menstrual cycle and appropriate support wear. Breast size, shape and sensitivity varies throughout a menstrual cycle, requiring better measurement and knowledge to define these changes and how to support women to engage in exercise. This PhD focuses on a novel measurement...

Climate change is a prominent, real-world, ongoing event that can cause high feelings of stress and anxiety in people. It is an ongoing challenge to try and reduce our digital carbon footprint, at both an individual and organisational level, which cumulatively has a huge impact on climate change. Digital decarbonisation provides a real-world strategy that we...

Mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI, including sports-related concussions) account for 80% of TBIs, posing a significant global public health concern. While most recover within weeks, up to 30% develop Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS), marked by long-lasting physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioural issues. Objective assessment and interventions are...

RationaleFlooding stands as the most prevalent natural hazard. However, whilst substantial research effort has been reported in the last decade to develop high-performance physics-based models for more accurate prediction of different types of flooding processes, these latest flood modelling technologies have not yet been fully leveraged to support practical...
