PhD position on combustion instabilities of hydrogen flames

vor 1 Woche


Zürich, Schweiz Combustion, Acoustics & Flow Physics (CAPS) Vollzeit

Job description This  research work  will combine  experiments and modeling . The experimental research will be performed on a lab-scale, high-pressure test facility. Experimental techniques for fluid mechanics, combustion and acoustics will be used ,  including laser-based optical diagnostics. The modeling work will consist in the development of analytical low-order models of the combustion instabilities, and in large eddy simulations of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Your profile You are expected to have a MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering or Physics. Your MSc thesis should be related to one or more of the following disciplines: fluid mechanics, combustion, acoustics. Solid background in math and physics is required. Ideally, you would be available for a start in October . We are looking for highly motivated, committed, and creative individuals, able to work in a team and with excellent communication skills. Working in a top-level research environment with advanced laboratory infrastructure, the candidate will have a unique opportunity to develop her/his research abilities.
