Proposal
The research group is seeking candidates for a postdoctoral position in computational fluid dynamics modelling (CFD). The applicant will work in a university research team in collaboration with an important industrial partner. The goal of this project is to develop a heat transfer CFD model with combustion in a complex geometry for direct industrial application. Research and development activities will include:
– Design and development of a heat transfer CFD model including combustion.
– Analysis of the importance of different heat transfer mechanisms.
– Optimization strategies of working conditions of the system.
Job Requirements
Demonstrated knowledge and experience and a strong publication record in one or more of the following areas:
– CFD modelling.
– Combustion physics modelling.
– Turbulent flows.
