Researcher position CFD
Researcher position in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate the coupling of acoustics and boundary layer flow.
Qualification Type: Researcher
Location: Warsaw
Funding for: EU Students
Funding amount: 4500 PLN grant per month
Hours: Full Time
Project is funded by the National Science Centre (www.ncn.gov.pl)
The aim of this project is to develop a methodology allowing to reduce the computational costs necessary to simulate the coupling of acoustics and boundary layer flow. It is believed that simulating simultaneously hydrodynamic instabilities and acoustic waves within a single CFD URANS solver is a right approach for achieving the main goal of the project. The main objectives of the project are as follows:
- Understanding the instability mechanism in the laminar and turbulent boundary layers triggered by the acoustic waves (direct numerical simulation);
- Formulation of guidelines, based on the collected DNS data, for closure of the unknown terms in the exact form of the Reynolds-stress transport and/or the laminar/turbulent kinetic energy equations;
- Development and testing of two URANS/hybrid RANS-LES aero-acoustics simulation/coupling strategies.
Eligibility criteria
Candidates for funded Researcher Position must demonstrate outstanding qualities.
Key requirements:
- Master degree in relevant engineering or applied mathematics or physics is essential;
- Candidate is expected to demonstrate knowledge, understanding and experience of mathematical and numerical modelling and the use of at least two software packages for flow simulations;
- Proved by scientific publications, the knowledge and experience in development of the RANS-based laminar-to-turbulent transition models;
- Proved by scientific publications the knowledge and experience in analysis of the turbomachinery flows;
- Fluency in English is essential.
