Several PhD studentship opportunities are available at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, for outstanding candidates.
Biofuels have much potential as a low greenhouse-gas replacement to fossil fuels. To realise this potential, internal combustion engines need to be optimised for biofuel operation.
Applications are sought for PhD studentships to develop advanced Large Eddy Simulation models for internal combustion engines running biofuels. Topics include:
- knock in ethanol and flex-fuel spark-ignition engines,
- autoignition of ethanol stratified-charge compression ignition engines.
Both projects involve collaboration with leading experimental groups, and working with large-scale Direct Numerical Simulation data-sets.
Candidates should possess an excellent grasp of CFD, chemistry, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, computational methods and programming. Direct experience with IC-engine CFD is highly desirable.
Scholarships cover A$20,000/annum towards fees, and provide a monthly stipent of A$2,500. Please note that these scholarships are highly competitive. Successful scholarship recipients typically have an exceptional academic record that is demonstrably within the top few percent at a good school.
Further information can be obtained from Dr Evatt Hawkes, evatt.hawkes@unsw.edu.au. Please include evidence of academic excellence in your response - including raw grade results and ranking within your class.
The deadline for applications is 31 July 2008.

I needed to thank you for this brilliant article. I delighted in each and every piece some portion of it and I will sit tight for the new updates. Pleasant one! I got such a significant number of information about paraphrasing. Here, could be the paraphrasing help that all of you can find a little learning there.
All of you can request any assistance to us can absolutely require any info.
