PhD candidate in Fluid Dynamics or Acoustics (M/F/X) (MSP/24-06 MILJETSOUND)
Offer DescriptionIn the framework of a joint PhD between Université de Mons (Belgium)(UMons) and the Royal Military Academy, we are looking for a full-time PhD candidate with a master’s degree in Applied Sciences / Engineering / Physics in the field of Fluid Dynamics or Acoustics.ContextThe Royal Military Academy of Belgium (RMA) is a military institution of university education responsible for the basic academic, military and physical training of future officers, and for the continuing advanced training of officers during their active career in the Belgian Defense department ( ). The Royal Military Academy is also conducting scientific research at university level for projects funded by the Belgian Defense department or external sources.
You work within the research cell on ‘Fluid Dynamics’ in the ‘Environmental Mechanics & Mobility Applications’ laboratory of the department of Mechanical Engineering. You conduct scientific research in a joint-PhD framework with UMons on a project entitled MILitary fighter JET SOUND (MILJETSOUND) within a research team.StudyMILJETSOUND is a TRL-5 follow-on project. Current modelling of the propagation of high-intensity non-linear jet noise is not reliable. We intend to expand the in-house sound propagation solver to tackle novel modelling challenges and improve accuracy. The simulation tool will have to be validated against pertinent on-site experiments featuring real fighter-jets and an instrumented propagation path. This is a rather unique set-up. Better modelling of non-linear propagation yields better mitigation for the impact of military jet noise on personnel and communities..
The candidate will be jointly supervised by Lieutenant-colonel Professor Dr Benoît MARINUS & Lieutenant-colonel Dr Ir Kristof HARRI from the RMA, and Prof. Francis MOINY from UMons. The contract will be for 4 years, with possibility of extension.Main Tasks
