---------------------------------------------------------
Cardiff University is offering PhD scholarship for
UK/EU & International students in the field of
hydro environmental engineering. The scholarship
is available for pursuing a PhD degree based on
the project ’Field Testing and Numerical Modelling
of a Tidal Turbine’ under the supervision of
Professor Thorsten Stoesser and Dr Alan Kwan.
The award will cover tuition fees at the Home/EU
fee rate and will provide a stipend at the UK
Research Council rate (£13,726 in 2013/14) plus
an enhancement of at least £1,000 per annum
but overseas candidates will be required to fund
the balance of fees at the overseas fee rate
themselves.
Study Subject(s): Scholarships are provided in
the field of hydro environmental engineering
offered by Cardiff University in UK.
Course Level: This scholarship is available for
pursuing PhD degree level at Cardiff University in
UK.
Scholarship Provider: Cardiff University in UK.
Scholarship can be taken at: UK
Eligibility: Academic: Candidates should hold or

Scholarship Open for International
Students: UK/EU & International students can
apply for this scholarship.
Scholarship Description: The goal of this
project is to deploy and test the performance and
sustainability of a pilot-scale vertical axis tidal
turbine in the Severn Estuary near Sully Island.
The hydrodynamic characteristics of the
deployment site are to be investigated prior to
deployment through a bathymetric survey and
point velocity measurements at a few selected
locations. The field measurements will be
complemented by numerical simulations of the
flow around the Island. The obtained field data
will be used for the validation of the CFD
simulations, and the simulation results will allow
the determination of the ideal location for turbine
deployment.
Number of award(s): One scholarship is offered.
Duration of award(s): Scholarship is offered for
three years.
What does it cover? The award will cover tuition
fees at the Home/EU fee rate and will provide a
stipend at the UK Research Council rate (£13,726
