Overview
The experimental or numerical characterisation of these complex aerodynamics with high spatial and temporal resolution is feasible via the application of either non-intrusive optical methods or higher order CFD calculations.
Features
- The research group at Cranfield has a proven track record of world-class research on both fronts.
- This doctoral degree in High-speed Propulsion System Aerodynamics at Cranfield University aims to address engine compatibility challenges in modern high-speed aero vehicles by using state of the art flow characterisation technologies to visualise and quantify the unsteady flow characteristics at the interface between the airframe and the aero-engine.
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- The ultimate goal of the work is to introduce broader design methods for inlet flow distortion characterisation, fan design and integration within a high-speed intake system.
- The successful student will be given the opportunity to present the work in fully funded international conferences over the duration of the programme, participate in industrial workshops and collaborate closely with UK aerospace industrial players in the area of high-speed aerodynamics.
