Novel, non-intrusive microwave sensors

Centre for Innovative and Collaborative Construction Engineering (CICE)

Loughborough University

An opportunity exists for a Research Engineer to lead a joint research venture between Dynamic Flow Technologies Ltd and Loughborough University as part of the prestigious four-year Engineering Doctorate programme, leading to the award ‘Doctor of Engineering’. Dynamic Flow Technologies is a SME of seasoned professionals with electronics and microwave experience, working in the UK water industry with blue chip and utility sector financial backing. We are now looking for an engineer to become the fluid mechanics ‘guru’ to lead the company’s next phase of growth.

At present non-intrusive flow measurement is undertaken by electromagnetic or laser Doppler measurements.  These methods require either full pipes or clear fluid as wastewater flows are often measured as open channel levels by ultrasound or less reliably pressure transducers.  Open channel or permanently full pipes are not practical in most gravity sewers and the subsequent lack of available measurements makes it difficult to accurately control and bill usage in complex networks. More information here.
