PhD scholarship - in Atmospheric Turbulence and Wind Energy Applicants are invited for a PhD scholarship in the Meteorology Program of the Wind Energy Division at Risø DTU. The Meteorology Program is aimed at basic research in the fields of boundary layer meteorology, assessment of wind resources for power generation and of wind loads on turbines and various other structures. The project With new laser techniques it is possible to measure atmospheric turbulence in completely new ways. At Risø DTU we are pursuing various implementations of laser Doppler-based techniques and are world leading in applying them to wind energy research. The PhD study will focus on performing atmospheric experiments with these systems, and/or investigating theoretically the fluid dynamic problems revealed by these measurements.

PhD scholarship in strategy with a focus on competition and accountability in seaborne shipping The Centre for Shipping Economics and Innovation (CENSEI) at the Department of Innovation and Organizational Economics (INO) and the Department of Management, Politics and Philosophy (MPP) invites applications for a vacant PhD scholarship in ”Competition and Accountability in the Seaborne Shipping Industry”. New challenges arising as a result of increasing globalization and a stronger general concern for the impact of sea transports on communities and the environment are prompting shipping companies to reassess and change their community position and accountability. The seaborne shipping industry faces major challenges in terms of pollution and relevant issues in relation to safety at sea and ashore. The question is how these challenges may be translated into concrete requirements for the shipping companies to comply with and how the shipping industry can develop the new skills and competenc...

Study climate change in Denmark - apply for a COP15 Climate Scholarship Climate change is one of the major challenges that our world faces today. In December 2009, Denmark will host the United Nations Climate Change Summit.

PhD – Scholarship in Plasticity Department of Mechanical Engineering, Solid Mechanics Section A 3-year Ph.D. scholarship is available at the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Solid Mechanics Section, from mid 2008. Reinforcement of polymers using carbon nano-tubes or nano-sized SiC particles can be applied to increase the stiffness. For composites, in which the reinforcing fibers are on very different size scales, very high strain gradients in the matrix material near the fibers can affect the overall properties significantly. Higher order continuum theories (strain gradient models) can be used to model the matrix material at the relevant small scale, accounting for effects of boundary layers of constrained plastic deformations around the hard reinforcing fibers. For the relatively low volume fractions used in nano reinforced materials it may prove useful to also add fibers on a larger scale. The effect of reinforcing materials with fibers on different length scales is the focus of...

PhD Project - Optimal use of biomass in power plant boilers Combustion and Harmful Emission Control Research Centre Department of Chemical Engineering A 3-year PhD position on the above mentioned topic is open at the CHEC (Combustion and Harmful Emission Control) Research Centre, Department of Chemical Engineering, Technical University of Denmark. Supervisors: Associate Professor Peter Arendt Jensen (paj[ at ]kt.dtu.dk), Associate Professor Flemming Frandsen (ff[ at ]kt.dtu.dk), Professor Kim Dam-Johansen (kdj[ at ]kt.dtu.dk). Background: Utilization of biomass on large power plants is a potentially efficient method to reduce net CO2 emissions and reduce the consumption of fossil fuels. Use of biomass fuels in large suspension-fired boilers may cause operational problems. One example is when straw is applied as fuel in suspension fired boilers whereby severe ash deposit formation in the boiler chamber often takes place. Improved technologies for ash deposit removal are therefore needed...
