The Scheme applies to international (non-UK and non-EU) studentsmaking applications for a fulltime taught programme of study only and includes students wishing to enter directly into years 2, 3 or 4 of the programme of study. The closing date for applications for Scholarships is 1 September 2011 and Applications should bemade direct to the relevant department or the International Office. No application for a Scholarship shall be considered without the Department having first received either a UCAS application formor an application formfor a postgraduate programme of study. Award of Scholarships is up to amaximumof £1,500 (or £750 for BA Geography) and is at the discretion of the Department. Departmentsmay award a Scholarship subject to satisfaction of any conditions, which it determines appropriate for entry to the programme of study. Scholarshipsmay only be awarded to applicants satisfying general University, Departmental and Programme of Study regulations.

The Scholarship is payable as a credit against tuition fees only,  No guarantee of a Scholarship can bemade where an applicant indicates that he/she wishes to defer entry to 2012/13. The Scholarship is awarded per annumfor the normal period of study. No student shall be entitled to a scholarship in excess of the period of study for which they are originally registered. This should be noted by any student wishing, after their first year of study, to transfer to the first year of another programme of study. The continuation of a scholarship after the first year of study is subject to satisfactory performance in assessments and examinations and progression to the next normal year of study. Scholarships are not transferable between Departments.Where a student wishes to transfer to another programme of study in another Department, the new Department is under no obligation to honour the commitment to a scholarship. Any student wishing to transfer to another Department be advised tomake appropriate enquiries of the new Department in advance of any firmdecision to transfer.

cholarship PhD in Aeroacoustics

Scholarship PhD in Aeroacoustics, University of Cambridge, UK

Scholarship Description :
Applications are invited for two PhD studentships that are a part of a new collaboration between Dyson Ltd and the Department of Engineering at Cambridge. The studentships are to investigate air movement for high efficiency and low noise in the power range used for domestic applications. The projects involve a study of unsteady fluid mechanics, flow instability and acoustics and each have an experimental and a model component. This is a unique opportunity to address a real design challenge with a leading company through original research, which will have wider impacts on the acoustic emissions of many other sub 1kW air moving machines.

The studentships are to commence in October 2011.

Project 1: Towards a Silent Fan
The Dyson Air Multiplier’s striking design offers many advantages in operation: the airflow it generates is free of the turbulence associated with conventional fans; it is efficient, easy to clean and as quiet as other fans. The aim of this project is to take the design even further and create the ultimate low-noise fan while staying within a strict design envelope. The cooling airflow involves no moving blades and is at a low enough speed that the noise from this flow is not significant. This means that the focus of the project will be on novel, quiet internal flow components. Components of interest will be: the impeller blades that produce tonal noise, which is enhanced by interactions with the inlet and outlet geometry; and sections of the flow path with abrupt curvature that can cause local separations, wakes and noise. In this project we will develop simplified models to predict noise generated from the individual components (impeller, guide vanes, air jet, etc) and their interaction and integrate these ideas to develop design rules for reducing noise. The project aims to determine the lowest noise level that can be achieved for a fan with given air flow-rate, air speed and efficiency, and to develop design concepts that can achieve it.

Project 2: Aeroacoustics of Cyclone Separators
Cyclones are complex three-dimensional flows that swirl about a central column of fluid inline with the axis of rotation. The column consists of a solid-body rotation that at low flow speeds do not show large instabilities. However as the flow speed increases, the vortex core deforms into a rotating spiral and begins to precess around the central axis. The instability leads to a temporally periodic motion that results in a tonal noise. It is suspected that the frequency of the processing vortex core has a relationship with the frequency of the observed sound.

The main objectives of the project are to develop a model for the precessing vortex core and to discover ways of controlling noise either by suppressing the periodic flow instability passively, actively or by applying anti-sound control¬.

The challenge is to stabilise the flow or reduce the noise without introducing a loss in performance either in the form of pressure drop or particle separation.
The solution could have a wide range of applicability from vacuum cleaners to helicopter intakes and Ranque-Hilsch vortex tubes used for refrigeration.

Eligibility
The application is open to nationals of any country, but full tuition fees are not covered for overseas (non-EU) students. Stipends for 2010-2011 are 13,290 GBP, and available for 3 years. Candidates should hold an undergraduate degree in aerospace, mechanical or acoustical engineering, physics or related fields.
The projects would involve a mix of experiments in anechoic chambers, wind and water tunnels, theoretical modelling and numerical simulations. The student will be supervised by Dr. Anurag Agarwal and Professor Dame Ann Dowling and would work closely with researchers and designers at Dyson’s head quarters. The studentship is available from October 2011, though an earlier start date might be possible. Applications should include a CV, contact details for two professional referees, and should be sent to Dr. Anurag Agarwal, Engineering Department, Trumpington Street, Cambridge CB2 1PZ (email: aa406@cam.ac.uk). Informal enquiries can be made to Dr. Anurag Agarwal.

Application review will begin March 1, 2011 and will continue until the positions are filled.
Limit of tenure applies 3 years
Closing date: 6 May 2011.

Scholarship Beasiswa - Wageningen University

Netherlands Scholarship, Anne van den Ban Scholarship Fund, Masters Scholarships for Students from Developing Country, Wageningen University

Overview :
The Anne van den Ban Scholarship Fund, previously known as the `Stichting Redelijk Studeren` (Sharing Responsibility for Students), is named after Dr. Ir. Anne van den Ban, former Professor of `Voorlichtingskunde` (Rural Extension) at Wageningen University. The fund was founded in 1992 by two Wageningen alumni.
The scholarship fund enables promising students from developing countries and from countries in Middle and Eastern Europe to study at Wageningen University. As a result, it contributes to the education of competent and motivated local experts, who can then play a leading role in solving the structural problems of their country in agricultural production, rural development and the environment.
Every year, dozens of students apply to the fund. Your contribution can enable even more students to begin or complete a study at Wageningen University.
Eligibility:

• Applicant must already be accepted for their chosen study at Wageningen University.
• Applicant must have good academic result in their home country
• Applicant must intend to return to their own country at the completion of their degree.
• The fund also gives preference to Applicant who already receive some form of financial assistance

Application Procedure
Before applicants can apply scholarships, they must apply for admissions.
The deadline for admission for non EU students is around May 2011.
