PhD Student (f/m/d) EU Horizon MSCA- Doctorate Network CaviPRO: Modelling of diffusion and reactions of hydroxyl radicals generated by cavity collapse
With cutting-edge research in the fields of ENERGY, HEALTH and MATTER, around 1,500 employees from more than 70 nations at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) are committed to mastering the great challenges facing society today.
The Institute of Fluid Dynamics is conducting basic and applied research in the fields of thermo-fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics in order to improve the sustainability, the energy efficiency and the safety of industrial processes.
The Group Thermal energy technology is looking for a PhD Student (f/m/d) EU Horizon MSCA- Doctorate Network CaviPRO: Modelling of diffusion and reactions of hydroxyl radicals generated by cavity collapse.
Your tasks
- Characterize the impact of cavitation - vortex - turbulence interaction on cavitation (DNS with the parallel, hierarchic code PHASTA) on a scale of tens of bubbles
- Quantify the impact of related physical mechanisms on the concentration and diffusion rate of OH radicals with DNS
- Quantify interactions of diffusion and reactions of OH radicals considering the cavitation - vortex - turbulence interaction for different hydraulic conditions
Your profile
