Our studentships
Training future leaders and advancing fundamental knowledge relevant to modern, low-emission combustion systems.
We are delighted to offer four fully funded studentships and welcome applications from high-calibre graduate students.
Projects span fundamental physics to more applied engine applications. They can encompass advanced experimental techniques, high-fidelity numerical modelling and the development of low-order models.
Recent topics undertaken by our students have explored:
- the compressor-combustor interface
- fuel injector design
- fuel sprays and atomisation
- flame stabilisation
- combustion instabilities
- cooling flows
- fundamental combustor design
- altitude relight
- combustor-turbine interactions
- the use of alternative fuels, including SAFs and hydrogen
New projects and topics regularly arise, supporting NCCAT’s research and the emerging needs of our industrial partners such as Rolls-Royce.
