Deadline: 31 Jan. 2013
Job description
Most new engines will use direct injection of the fuel, making the fuel spray a critical part of the engine. Fuel spray behavior controls engine performance and emissions, and yet there is much that remains unknown about how a spray breaks up, mixes, evaporates and burns. In this project, you would develop predictive models for fuel sprays, in tight cooperation with experiments. In particular, we will focus on i) cavitation inside the injector and ii) primary break-up using stochastic modeling approaches such as One-Dimensional Turbulence (ODT). The aim of the project is the development of new computational models that are both efficient and more predictive than in the past. Without predictive models it will be impossible to optimize combustion computationally.
The PhD students will:
You should have a Master of Science (Swedish: civilingenjör exam; a four year US bachelor’s degree meets the minimum requirement), preferably in Mechanical Engineering, Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, or equivalent. Knowledge fluid mechanics is considered essential. Good knowledge of turbulence, combustion science, and numerical methods is highly desirable. Experience with CFD codes and programming skills in compiled languages such as C or C++ are regarded an advantage. You should have a genuine interest and curiosity in the more theoretical aspects of engineering science and should be prepared for a position that involves quite a lot of code development and high performance computing. You will collaborate with several research partners, so the ability to cooperate is considered very important.
Application procedure
The application should be marked with Ref 20120375 and written in English. The application should be sent electronically and be attached as pdf-files, as below:
