PhD Studentship in Turbine Secondary Flows Under Engine Realistic Inlet Conditions - Cambridge, England
6 days ago

Job Summary
This PhD project focuses on understanding turbine secondary flows under realistic engine-relevant conditions with particular emphasis on the role of purge flows using CFD to investigate how purge flow modifies secondary-flow behaviour and contributes to loss generation.Expected Outcomes -Improved understanding of turbine secondary-flow behaviour in the presence of purge flow and tip leakage -CFD-based assessment of how inlet flow distortion incidence variation and boundary-layer modification influence secondary-flow development -Identification of key physical mechanisms responsible for increased loss under realistic inlet conditions -Exploration of design strategies to mitigate secondary-flow losses in practical turbine environments
- A strong academic background in aerodynamics fluid mechanics or turbomachinery typically a first-class undergraduate degree or equivalent and/or a strong Master's degree
- Experience with CFD for example through coursework projects or a Master's thesis
- An interest in turbine aerodynamics secondary flows and real-engine flow physics
- Programming data-analysis skills Python preferred
- Curiosity motivation to work on complex industrially relevant aerodynamic problems
