Senior Research Associate in Multi-Phase Wind Tunnel Development

Loughborough University • Remote (Loughborough University, England, United Kingdom) • £46.74k - £55.76k / year • 1w ago

Loughborough University has recently been awarded more than £1M to develop a novel multi-phase wind tunnel. This is part of a UKRI/EPSRC award to the National Wind Tunnel Facility (NWTFhttps://www.nwtf.ac.uk) and is a unique opportunity to design, implement and gather measurements for a new wind tunnel.

The multi-phase wind tunnel facility willallow the investigation and measurement of applications involving a significant amount of a dispersed phase in an airflow. While the facility is intended for use with a range of applications, the initial goal is to replicate and measure the spray from a car wheel operating on a wet road – this can then be used to understand how the spray affects the accuracy and reliability of automotive Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) in wet environments. The post will involve elements of fundamental research using simulation tools to optimise the design and undertaking high quality measurements of the wheel spray, combined with strong mechanical design and project management skills. The succesful candidate will work closely with a Doctoral Researcher undertaking a PhD in automotive wheel sprays.

The closing date for receipt of applications is 18th February 2025

£46,735 to £55,755 pro rata per annum. Subject to annual pay award.
