PhD Studentship in Civil Engineering

Department of Civil and Offshore Engineering,
Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh

The research project will entail the numerical modelling of two-phase
flow, in particular, the generation, and mechanisms of migration, of
gas (carbon dioxide and methane) and leachate from a landfill site.
An understanding of the finite element method or the control
volume numerical solution technique would be an advantage.

In order to attract the very best candidates, the department
will make maintenance payments of £7000 per annum (EPSRC
studentships are currently £5455 per annum).

Potential applicants should be of a high calibre with a
first class or upper second class honours degree in
engineering, applied science, mathematics or a related
field.
