We investigate turbulence-induced vibrations in a confined annular flow configuration representative of pressurized water reactor internals. The experimental setup consists of a rigid inner cylinder mounted on two flexible rectangular plates inside a cylindrical vessel. Building on our previous work, analytical expressions for the fluid-elastic forces in quiescent fluid are derived, accounting for added mass, damping, partial immersion, viscous, and confinement effects.

The Yang Research Group in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics at The University of Texas at Austin is recruiting 1–2 Postdoctoral Researchers and/or 1–2 Ph.D. students to join our group in Fall 2026, Spring 2027, or Fall 2027. 

Kennesaw State University is now accepting applications for a full-time, tenure track faculty position as Assistant Professor of Aerospace Engineering in the Department of Mechanical Engineering with a preferred start date of August 2027. This is a nine-month contracted position and is for work to be performed in the state of Georgia. We encourage candidates with research interests across all aerospace engineering domains to apply.

Great opportunity to join our team at Malmö University, Sweden!

The Department of Materials Science and Applied Mathematics is recruiting a highly motivated Associate Senior Lecturer in Applied Physics with a focus on Machine Learning.

Partially funded by the Swedish Knowledge Foundation, this position aims to strengthen and expand our machine learning research activities connected to materials science, with an emphasis on structural materials and engineering applications.

We are looking to recruit a highly motivated and independent postdoctoral researcher to work in the area of computational fluid-metamaterial interaction.  The postdoctoral position is focused on implementing mechanical models for metamaterials into a computational fluid dynamics code to investigate the resulting fluid-metamaterial interaction.  This project will involve collaboration with other research teams at the University of Illinois and Caltech.
