Pressure fluctuations arising from turbulent flow can lead to excitation of
flexible structures, such as panels and windows of cars and aeroplanes, and
result in the generation of vibrational sound. This so called aero-vibroacoustic
mechanism of noise generation mechanism can lead to passenger discomfort and
sonic fatigue. Therefore, a detailed understanding of the fully coupled
fluid-structure-acoustic interactions is required in order to devise successful
strategies for controlling the noise levels. 
To date, this problem has mainly been investigated experimentally lacking
sufficient temporal and spatial resolution to get a highly accurate picture of
all important mechanisms, or using numerical simulations relying on some form of
turbulence modelling, with their associated uncertainties in prediction accuracy.  
In the current project, fully coupled high-fidelity fluid-structure simulations
will be conducted of configurations representative of those encountered in
automotive and aeronautical applications. An in-house code specifically
developed for high performance on supercomputers will be used for this research.
The data from these simulations will then be used to develop and validate a
novel flow-control framework in order to derive successful passive and active
noise-control techniques. 

The successful applicant will join a vibrant research group with a large number
of PhD students investigating turbulence and noise problems. A start date of
October 1st is desirable.
 
Applicants should have a first class degree (or equivalent) in Engineering,
Maths or any other relevant fields. 

THE STUDENTSHIP IS ONLY AVAILABLE TO UK/EU STUDENTS - overseas students need to
cover the additional fees themselves in order to be considered.

Formal applications need to be made through the job-opportunities pages of the
Faculty of Engineering and the Environment at the University of Southampton:

Applications are invited for a Research Associate in multi-resolution finite 
element modelling to undertake innovative and exciting research on multi-
resolution finite element computation of flood water flow. The project aims to 
exploit an emerging mathematical concept into the field of computational 
hydraulics with particular focus on augmenting both theoretical and practical 
aspects of a state-of-the-art flood modelling tool.

Applicants should hold a PhD (or be shortly due to complete) in computational 
mathematics, engineering or fluid dynamics with a demonstrated potential of 
model code development and applications. A strong mathematical background, 
excellent programming skills, and ability to carry out numerical analysis and 
code development are central to the post. Practical experience in modelling 
shallow flow problems is beneficial. Additionally, applicants should possess 
high organisational and planning skills, the ability to work well under their 
own initiative and within an inter-disciplinary team, have good interpersonal 
skills, be prepared to travel, be able to work to project deadlines and to 
interact with software developers and environmental consultants. Presentation 
skills, both verbal and written, are required to boost the dissemination of high 
quality research results.

The postholder will be required to carry out regular visitsto Aachen, Germany to 
work closely with Professor Müller’s team (http://www.igpm.rwth-
aachen.de/personen/mueller) to gain specific knowledge, skills and access to 
software.

This full-time post is initially available from 01 October 2013. It will be 
offered on a fixed-term contract for an initial period of 14 months with 
possible 6-months extension depending on the performance. Grant application 
submissions, during 2014, are planned to capture funds to extend the post for a 
sustainable period. 

Salary ranges from £28,685 to £29,541 per annum. For complete details about the 
post, or to apply, visit the University of Sheffield jobs section (post 
reference UOS006710). Informal enquiries may be addressed to Dr G. Kesserwani
