| Project Description: | Much of the natural world and human-built environments exist within the lowest portion of the atmosphere known as the planetary boundary layer. Conditions in the atmosphere are often thermally unstable during the daytime, leading to large convective turbulent motions throughout the boundary layer that significantly enhance transport and dispersion of scalars like moisture, gases, and pollutants. Our understanding of turbulent phenomena in these conditions is changing as high-resolution simulations of the atmosphere become increasingly affordable. This computational project will use large-eddy simulations to investigate structural and statistical similarity in the convective atmospheric boundary layer. Similarity is an important tool for the development of predictive models and reduced-order representations of the atmosphere commonly applied in forecasting and engineering design. |

| Project Description: | Turbulent winds within forested canopies are critical to the exchange of water vapor and gases between plants and the atmosphere. At the same time, the canopy significantly alters atmospheric winds above the canopy. There is limited predictive theory for these flow alterations, despite the direct implication for the performance of global models that have grid points close to the canopy. This experimental project will measure turbulent winds within and above idealized scale-model forested canopies in a wind tunnel setting. The goals of the project are to improve our understanding of turbulent phenomena in the presence of canopies and to advance predictive models for the mean wind conditions. The project will be conducted in collaboration with international researchers and may involve analysis of field-scale measurements to supplement the wind tunnel experiments. In addition to earning a PhD in Civil Engineering, the student will develop an expertise in atmospheric turbulence and experimental methods for fluid mechanics, e.g. particle image velocimetry and hotwire anemometry. The student will have the opportunity to publish their research in leading journals in the areas of fluid mechanics (e.g. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, Physical Review Fluids) and atmospheric sciences (e.g. Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, Boundary-Layer Meteorology, Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres), plus attend academic conferences within Australia and internationally. |

| Project Description: | This project aims to critically examine a number of accounts of how (and if) we may reconcile what we know about ordinary objects with the unexpected things science has taught us about space, time, and the fundamental building blocks of nature. We anticipate generating new knowledge in metaphysics, exploiting the recent 'locative turn' to revitalise perennial questions about existence, persistence, and change. The HDR candidate’s project is expected to be in the fields of metaphysics or philosophy of physics; students with an appropriate background in philosophy or physics are encouraged to apply. There is no specified thesis topic; students will be supported in developing their own topic within the remit of the project. |

Grundlegendes zum Schwerpunkt Mathematik und Physik
Die Mathematik und Physik gehören traditionell zu den grundlegenden Wissenschaften. Sie beschreiben die Welt in ihrer elementaren Logik und Anordnung und in ihrer Ausrichtung auf den Menschen. Neben ausgeprägter Grundlagenforschung sind beide Disziplinen aus der modernen Wissenschaftslandschaft nicht wegzudenken. Entscheidende Bedeutung hat die Mathematik nicht nur für die angrenzenden Naturwissenschaften und technischen Forschungsbereiche, sondern sie spielt auch für die Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften eine wichtige Rolle. Gleichermaßen kommt der Physik eine Schlüsselrolle zu, wenn es darum geht die Herausforderungen einer modernen Gesellschaft zu verstehen und zu bewältigen. Für beide Bereiche bietet Australien exzellente Forschungsgruppen an. Wichtiger Katalysator und Impulsgeber für eine kreative Auseinandersetzung mit aktuellen Themen ist die internationale Forschungszusammenarbeit.
