Are you passionate about cutting-edge fluid dynamics and the physics of extreme events? Join our innovative research project exploring shock-induced cavitation from blast-loaded membrane structures!
About the Project
This project investigates the complex interplay between high-energy blast waves and fluid-structure interaction. Our focus is to understand the dynamics of cavitation—its initiation, evolution, and collapse—caused by rapidly deforming membranes under shock loading. The key areas of study are 1) the development of an apparatus for the generation of shock-induced cavitation, leveraging the existing blast simulation facilities at the University of Wollongong, 2) cavitation bubble formation and collapse mechanics; 2) structural deformation under high strain rates.
How to Apply
Express your interest in this project by emailing Prof Alex Remennikov at alexrem@uow.edu.au, and include a copy of your CV and your academic transcript(s).
