Exploring stratified turbulent mixing by shear instabilities in coastal waters
Imperial College London|Grantham Institute for Climate Change
博导：Dr Adrien Lefauve
截止日期：全年可申
资助的博士项目（全球学生）
About the Project
Project Description:
Water will likely become the gold of the 21st century, due to its central role to life and the economy and its increasing scarcity under climate change. Estuaries are particularly interesting as they represent key transition and exchange zones between freshwater and marine environments and often host great cities, including London. A key question in estuarine hydrodynamics is: how does turbulence mix freshwater and denser saltwater? This project will focus on the lifecycle, turbulent energy cascade, and mixing of large-scale shear instabilities, the primary structures responsible for mixing in estuaries. Recent field observations prove that mixing does not generally occur by overturning in the ‘cores’ of the primary 'billows', as previously thought. Instead, we will investigate the hypothesis that mixing occurs along their ‘braids’ by secondary shear instabilities with potentially different mixing properties. You will perform mathematical analyses of state-of-the-art in-situ data, including multibeam echograms (acoustic backscatter), which provide a high-resolution picture of underwater turbulent mixing. You will then formulate new fluid mechanical models that bridge the challenging spectrum of scales. The goal will be to develop new hypotheses, ideally leading you to design a new fieldwork campaign to gather complementary data. There will be the opportunity to perform fieldwork in the USA in collaboration with the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The ideal outcome would be to distil the new physics of mixing into practical reduced-order models called parameterisations, to ultimately improve the coastal models that are used to address sustainability challenges.

Funding Notes
This is a fully funded Grantham funded-studentship for Dr Adrien Lefauve who will soon be joining the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
Funding
The funding will include 3.5 years of funding, which will cover:
- A maintenance stipend, paid in equal monthly instalments directly to your bank account (£21,237 per annum for 2024/25)
- A total of £5,000 is available during the duration of the project to contribute towards research expenses associated with the project, including conference costs, consumables, and travel for research purposes
- Home tuition fees at UKRI indicative rate (£4,786 per annum for 2024/25) · Home tuition fees at UKRI indicative rate (£4,786pa for 2024/25)
We welcome home and international candidates to apply; however, for overseas applicants, any costs over those mentioned above will need to be covered by applicants or in exceptional cases by the department where the student is registered.
2、悉尼大学
PhD Scholarship in Hydrogen Storage and Sustainable Energy
University of Sydney | PhD Opportunities
博导：Prof Francois Aguey-Zinsou
截止日期：全年可申
资助的博士项目（全球学生）
About the Project
Scholarships are available for PhD candidates to contribute to the development of advanced hydrogen storage systems in a multidisciplinary research team. With the rapid increase in energy demand and potential drastic effects of climate change there is an urgent need for developing effective energy storage systems to finally enable the large-scale deployment of renewable energy (e.g. solar, wind) and the implementation of clean transport systems.
The project:The aim of this project is to develop a novel class of hydrogen materials that would allow the design of modern hydrogen storage systems and fuel cells capable of meeting an ever-increasing demand in clean and efficient energy technologies. The successful applicant will have the opportunity to work on a highly topical area and within a world-class research team. The study is to be conducted at the School of Chemistry at the University of Sydney (top 18 in the world).
The candidates:Highly motivated applicants awarded a first class BSc Honours degree with a high grade > 85% (or equivalent - Master degree with high grade > 85%) in chemistry, materials science, polymer chemistry and/or preparation of inorganic nanoparticles, or a related fields including chemical and mechanical engineering. Consideration will also be given to applicants who do not have an Honours degree but have done research for at least 1 year as part of their studies. The scholarship is available to Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents. International students with a Master degree from a reputable university (ranked in the top 400 in the world) are also encouraged to apply.
Contact:For more information, please contact Prof. Francois Aguey-Zinsou (f.aguey@sydney.edu.au).
Send your CV, academic transcript, English test (if applicable) and details of 2-3 references by e-mail to:f.aguey@sydney.edu.au
