The Chair of Hydraulic turbomachinery at the Faculty of Mechanical engineering is looking for a

Research Associate / Post-Doc (m,f,x) for the development of 3D flow simulation methods (CFD) - The effect of alcohol fuels on cavitation and spray formation in maritime high-pressure injection devises, for 3 years, 39,83hours per week, TVL E14

The main research topic of the Chair of Hydraulic Fluid Machinery (HSM) is the development of customised CFD methods for the numerical simulation of multiphase flow in fluid machinery and their components. In maritime powertrains, alternative fuels for internal combustion engines e.g., alcohol fuels are considered. For example, by the use of methanol, cavitation structures and flow aggressiveness in the injector are fundamentally affected by the use of alcohols compared to conventional fuels. In a huge consortium with international academic and industrial partner, new CFD methods for the assessment of cavitation, cavitation erosion and spray characteristics of alcohol fuels in maritime high-pressure fuel injection devises are to be developed.

Your tasks:

Development and application of compressible, shock-resolving 3D simulation methods (CFD) for cavitating flow
Self-dependent customization of OpenFOAM
Simulation of the cavitating in-nozzle flow in high-pressure fuel injection devises for maritime applications
Development of an in-nozzle flow – spray interface for a seamless simulation of in-nozzle flow and liquid jet break-up
Turbulence scale resolving or adaptive simulations
High-Performance-Computing (HPC) / application on large-capacity computers
Writing of scientific papers
Close cooperation with international industry and academic partners
Independent initiation of project proposals is highly welcome
