We are recruiting for two PHD roles the SECRET project

We are currently recruiting for two PHD students to join the SECRET project team.

PHD 1 job description
The PhD student will work closely with the world leading experts in modelling of rotating machinery under the Chair. The objective is to develop accurate, reliable and robust methods for modelling of fluid-solid interaction in rotating positive displacement machines and validate these methods with the experimental results obtained in the state-of-the-art laboratory within the Centre for Compressor Technology and the Thermo-Fluids Research Centre at City using PLIF, PIV and infrared thermography. In the second part of the project the student will utilize such methods for evaluating concepts for improving efficiency and reliability of oil-free rotating positive displacement machines.

Closing date for applications: 5pm on 30th October 2020

PHD 2 job description
The PhD student will work closely with the world leading experts in screw machines under the Chair. The main objective of this project is to develop system for monitoring and control of operational clearances in rotating machines. It is expected that this project will also explore at least three strategies for controlling leakage and clearance gap sizes including: employment of surface features, secondary flows and use of smart coatings. The student will work closely with PhD2 and PDRF (Postdoctoral Research Fellow. The project will be supervised jointly by the Centre for Compressor Technology, Centre for Instrumentation at City and Howden.

Closing date for applications: 5pm on 30th October 2020
