PhDs: The group usually takes in maximum 2 new PhD students a year in the above topics. Please send a detailed proposal and your CV for discussion.
Visiting Fellows/Senior PhD Students: The group considers up to 2 cases per year (6-12 months) with a clear research plan that future collaboration plan that benefits the group.
Current activities
State-of-the-art numerical methods for Computational Fluid Dynamics in the following areas:
Turbulence modelling in conjunction with high-order schemes
Large-scale production RANS for aerospace applications
Implicit Large Eddy Simulation for hybrid-unstructured meshes
Parallel scientific computing with numerical-methods driven partitioning techniques
