Scholarship Description: This PhD research programme aims to develop a statistical data fusion
based technique for the measurement and quantitative characterisation of
multi-phase flows. General-purpose flow sensors together with temperature,
pressure and electrical impedance transducers will be utilised to measure an
oil/water/air flow. Electrostatic and piezoelectric sensors in conjunction with
pressure and temperature transducers will be applied to measure a pneumatically
conveyed coal/ biomass mixture flow. A statistical data fusion method based on
Bayes’ rule for combining prior and observation information will be developed
to integrate the outputs of the sensors and transducers, aiming to derive the
flow rates and fractions of the individual phases in the oil/water/air flow and
the component velocities and fractions of the coal/biomass/air flow. The
successful applicant will be expected to undertake some teaching commensurate
with their experience. Principally based at Kent, it is also envisaged that the
student will visit industrial partners from time to time
