We are advertising a three-year PhD position to start in the fall and funded by a NSF project led by me and Dr. Freddie Witherden. The project will investigate the emergence of a new type of wind ripples on Earth using a combination of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and grain-scale transport simulations. The main goal is to uncover the physical mechanisms controlling the origin and scaling of meso-scale bedforms (ripples) on Earth, and by extension, on water and other planetary bodies such as Mars, Titan and Venus.
We are looking for a motivated student interested in planetary geomorphology, two-phase flows, CFD and DEM models.
Those interested should send me a CV and a brief letter of interest to oduranvinent@tamu.edu.
Regards,
Orencio
