In this project we will conduct state-of-the-art numerical simulations of water droplets that are large enough to initiate a two-way coupling between the droplets and the cloud-turbulence on some of the world’s leading supercomputers to better understand these droplet – turbulence interactions, and as a result generate a better understanding of the cloud microphysics behind the generation of rainfall. This will be in support of a NERC-funded project, including the Met Office, to try and improve the parameterisation of cloud microphysics for more accurate NWP.

Qualifications 

You must possess (or expect to gain) a first-class honours MEng./MSc. or higher degree or equivalent in Aeronautics/Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computing, Physics or related areas.
