3. Fully Funded PhD Position in Conversion of humidity to electricity

Summary of PhD Program:

Sudden humidity swings are part of our daily life from natural or manmade occurrences. Human body temperature regulation works on the evapotranspiration of water through the skin, the relative humidity in a dishwasher usually swings from 30% to 100% and humidity changes between day and night are present in humid and dry areas alike. The swing between two relative humidity levels always corresponds to an energy change which is possible to harvest. In the past, three proof of principles experiments exploiting three different mechanisms have shown that it is possible to harvest energy from humidity but not beyond the generation of negligible powers.

8. Fully Funded PhD Position in Aerodynamics of the gliding seeds of the Javan cucumber vine

Summary of PhD Program:

The membranous wings of the Alsomitra macrocarpa fruit are very thin, varying from a few micron to some tens of microns. The wing has a swept and tapered planform, resembling that of a flying wing (see figure). Such a wing is one of the most efficient fixed-wing aircraft designs, since the entire body provides lift; however, without electronic stablisers, “flying wing” aircraft are difficult to control. The Alsomitra macrocarpa fruit, however, has overcome this design weakness by having a center of gravity located close to (but in front of) the aerodynamic center of the wing due to the swept planform. At the same time, elastic deformation of the wing provides a twisted washout and dihedral, which helps it fly in a straight path and prevents “spiral instability” [1].

15. Fully Funded PhD Position in The physics and engineering of flowing suspensions

Summary of PhD Program:

Suspensions of particles in liquid are found throughout nature and industry, for instance chocolate, toothpaste, slurries and ceramics. Understanding their flow properties is crucial to describing the natural world and characterising engineering processes. We are just beginning to unravel the dramatic influence that particle-particle interactions have on their flow behaviour when the liquid is Newtonian and the particles are hard, repulsive and monosized spheres (see Figure 1 and Ref [1]). In reality these conditions are rarely met: suspending liquids are often ‘viscoelastic’; particles are often soft or sticky or non-spherical and have large size distributions. How do the combined microphysics of these particle-level details control the resulting flow behaviour?

Capillary imbibition occurs in many natural and technological processes, including plant water uptake, microfluidics, and printing. Crucially, thus far we understand how a liquid invades a solid medium, but what happens if the solid is replaced by a liquid? This is a fundamental question in fluid mechanics which has substantial potential to unlock solutions in engineering, ranging from reducing friction to enabling the manipulation of droplets in micromechanical devices.

5. Fully Funded PhD Position in Flow inside supersaturated Saline droplets

Summary of PhD Program:

In recent work we have shown that it is possible to create a surface smooth enough to halt heterogeneous crystallization and sessile droplets which are volumetrically stable even when the humidity well below the deliquescence limit. We also have preliminary evidence that these droplets can be forced to both shrink and grow by adjusting to the surrounding humidity. In this PhD you will study these stable droplets in controlled humidity and seek to understand the flows created by local concentration gradients within the droplet. You will also investigate the flow, and any deposition onto surfaces, when the droplets are both volumetrically stable and when they are condensing or evaporating.

11. Fully Funded PhD Position in Conversion of humidity to electricity

Summary of PhD Program:

Sudden humidity swings are part of our daily life from natural or manmade occurrences. Human body temperature regulation works on the evapotranspiration of water through the skin, the relative humidity in a dishwasher usually swings from 30% to 100% and humidity changes between day and night are present in humid and dry areas alike. The swing between two relative humidity levels always corresponds to an energy change which is possible to harvest. In the past, three proof of principles experiments exploiting three different mechanisms have shown that it is possible to harvest energy from humidity but not beyond the generation of negligible powers. The present project looks beyond these results, exploits different chemical-physical schemes and aims at generating noticeable powers in a true engineering device.

15. Fully Funded PhD Position in Aerodynamics of the gliding seeds of the Javan cucumber vine

Summary of PhD Program:

The Javan cucumber (Alsomitra macrocarpa) is a vine that climbs the trees of tropical forests toward the canopy and sunlight. At great heights, it grows pods that contain hundreds of winged seeds. As the wind blows against the opening of the pods, the samaras are peeled away and released. Unlike many gliding seeds that use auto-rotation, the seed of the Javan cucumber vine exhibits a stable gliding flight with its paper-thin wings. The seed’s design is efficient enough to achieve a slower rate of descent compared to that of rotating winged seeds.

21. Fully Funded PhD Position in The physics and engineering of flowing suspensions

Summary of PhD Program:

Suspensions of particles in liquid are found throughout nature and industry, for instance chocolate, toothpaste, slurries and ceramics. Understanding their flow properties is crucial to describing the natural world and characterising engineering processes. We are just beginning to unravel the dramatic influence that particle-particle interactions have on their flow behaviour when the liquid is Newtonian and the particles are hard, repulsive and monosized spheres (see Figure 1 and Ref [1]). In reality these conditions are rarely met: suspending liquids are often ‘viscoelastic’; particles are often soft or sticky or non-spherical and have large size distributions. How do the combined microphysics of these particle-level details control the resulting flow behaviour?

1. Fully Funded PhD Position in Micromechanics of deformation and damage in composite materials

Summary of PhD Program:

Composite materials are versatile materials and have found increased use in all areas of engineering where high strength, low weight materials are needed. The unique characteristics of these materials at different length scales also poses a challenge in understanding the mechanical behaviour which is essential to the design of reliable structures. Most of the current models are based on continuum mechanics which although, appropriate for certain settings do not fully integrate the phenomena at microscopic scale such as debonding of fibres and matrix, failure of individual fibres within the composite materials.
