机械工程与航空博士学位/ MPhil

机械和航空工程系在流体工程领域拥有丰富的专业知识。可以在以下主题中进行研究：计算和实验流体动力学及其在IC发动机，压缩机和涡轮机中的应用，各种流体机械（喷射器，泵，螺旋桨，飞轮，船舶系统），流量控制，边界层减阻，超音速流，能量转换系统。机械工程和航空学系在流体工程领域拥有丰富的专业知识，其多学科的角色对陆地，海洋，空气和外层空间的工程系统产生了重大影响，从纳米级项目，如医疗植入物到大型项目，例如航空航天站。该系欢迎与我们的学术人员兴趣一致的候选人申请研究学位。目前，流体工程中心有60多位研究不同主题的研究
Conduct research under the supervision of experts in our mechanical engineering research centres. Access leading facilities including microgas turbines, cavitation facilities, transonic wind tunnel and thermal fluid test facilities. You will conduct in-depth research alongside world-leading experts in our two research centres for Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics. Our Thermofluid Research Centre is a world-leader in microgas turbines and founder of the European Microgas Turbine Forum. We also host the National Institute of Cavitation. Our Aerodynamics and Flow Control Research Centre focuses on these two fundamental areas, as well as emerging disciplines such as bio-fluid mechanics, renewable energy and micro-fluidics. We are part of the National Wind Tunnel Facility, which recognises research-intensive universities demonstrating best practice in aerodynamics. Our staff have academic and industry backgrounds and are experts in the industrial application of theory and research. Our graduates go on to impressive careers for businesses like Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems and Dyson.Full-time2 – 4 yearsPart-time3 – 7 yearsPhD by prior publication1 – 2 years
