Summary
Project description
Would you like to make a difference in protecting one of earth's most essential resources - water? Would you like to help the UK eliminate leakage-related water loss? A 3.5-year fully-funded PhD post is available to work on optical fibre sensing for acoustic leak detection, in the Dynamics Group of the world-renowned Institute of Sound and Vibration Research.
Leakage from pipes is a significant issue in the water industry, both in environmental and economic and health terms. The UK is determined to tackle this problem and recently set up the Zero Leakage 2050 initiative. Optical fibre technology offers the possibility of continuous acoustic monitoring along tens of kilometres of pipelines. The opportunities for levelling up pipeline sensing are tremendous and exciting. Owing to the nature of optical fibre usage, there is a considerable spare capacity that offers enormous potential for water leak sensing.
