Field(s) of activity/research for the traineeship

1. Thermal Design & Analysis: Perform thermal design and associated analysis, including steady state/transient analyses of instrument and satellites following familiarization with project requirements and Agency's tools (ESATAN-TMS). This may also include in-flight correlation of thermal analysis models for ESA projects.



2. Thermal Analysis methods: Research and development in the area of computational methods for space thermal analysis or multi-disciplinary analysis e.g.:

  • Methods and tools for exchange of thermal analysis data with other disciplines such as structures (e.g. development of SINAS);
  • Co-simulation of thermal analysis models with other domains such as power or fluidics;
  • Next generation methods for radiative, fluidic or thermal analysis;
  • Methods for improved tool-to-tool data exchange within the thermal domain (development of STEP-TAS).

3. Analysis methods in support of testing activities: real time model correlation or identification of discrepancies between model and test data, analysis methods for new test instrumentation such as infra-red cameras, data fusion of thermal analysis and test data, modelling of gas convection for cleanroom testing.

4. Mechanical Systems Laboratory: Participation in the testing activities of the laboratory including evaluation of test data. Participate to the development and acceptance of new test facilities, e.g. thermal cycling, Coefficient of Thermal Expansion.
