• This PhD studentship is open to students of any nationality.


• The successful commercial development of tidal stream turbines will depend on optimising the power output from an array of devices within a small deployment area. The spacing of the turbines within the array is itself dependent on the wake characteristics of the surrounding turbines as well as the local hydrodynamic flows. Initial work has shown that current numerical modelling techniques do not accurately predict the wake from a turbine and that hybrid numerical models need to be developed to better predict the wake.1 PhD studentship is available.


• Scholarship is awarded for a period of three years.


• This studentship consists of full UK/EU tuition fees, as well as a Doctoral Stipend matching UK Research Council National Minimum (£13,863 p.a. for 2014/15, updated each year).
