Benefits

This scholarship will provide a stipend allowance equivalent to the University of Sydney’s Research Training Program (RTP) Stipend rate (indexed on 1 January each year) for up to 3.5 years. 

Academic course fees and the Student Services Amenities fee (SSAF) are also provided for a successful international applicant, for up to 14 research periods. 

Note: The scholarship is subject to satisfactory academic performance and availability of funding.

Who's eligible

You must:

• have an unconditional offer of admission or being currently enrolled to study full-time in a PhD within the University of Sydney
• be willing to conduct research into the development of nozzle technology for marine cloud brightening
• hold an Honours degree (First Class or Second Class Upper) or equivalent in Mechanical, Aeronautical, Aerospace, or other closely related engineering or applied sciences discipline (e.g. Applied Physics)
• have a background in Mechanical, Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering, or closely related discipline. 

Background

This Scholarship has been established to provide financial assistance to a PhD student who is undertaking research in the development of nozzle technology for marine cloud brightening. 

This project focuses on the multiphase fluid mechanics of nozzle technology that has cloud brightening potential. A variety of experimental methods will be used in order to:

a) improve our fundamental understanding of liquid atomization processes as they relate to the generation of sprays with MBR potential and

b) develop detailed experimental data that can be used for the development of computational models.

This Scholarship is funded by a collaboration agreement between Southern Cross University, and the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Sydney.
