PhD Position in Extreme-scale Simulations of Forced Convective Turbulence over Complex Surfaces
6 dagen geleden
We are seeking a highly motivated PhD researcher to join our team in the Process & Energy Department of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at TU Delft. The successful candidate will work on the forefront of extreme-scale simulations of forced convective turbulence over complex surfaces, in collaboration with a team of experts in highly-resolved numerical simulations, wall-bounded turbulence, and atmospheric dynamics.
The project focuses on fundamental studies on simpler geometries using Direct Numerical Simulations of forced convective turbulence over rough surfaces. The insights from this effort will then be used to develop upscaled model closures for larger systems, specifically in an urban microclimate model where equations of thermal energy (including radiative heat transfer), humidity, and pollutants, are solved over complex surface topologies.
RequirementsWe welcome applicants with diverse backgrounds to enrich our dynamic and diverse team. Strong background in fluid dynamics, experience in computational fluid dynamics, and programming in high-level (MATLAB/Python) and low-level languages (Fortran/C++) is important. Experience in high-performance computing is welcomed.
Doing a PhD at TU Delft requires English proficiency at a certain level to ensure that the candidate is able to communicate and interact well, participate in English-taught Doctoral Education courses, and write scientific articles and a final thesis.
Conditions of EmploymentDoctoral candidates will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts. An initial 1.5 year contract with an official go/no go progress assessment within 15 months. Followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2.5 years assuming everything goes well and performance requirements are met.
Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from € 2,872 per month in the first year to € 3,670 in the fourth year. As a PhD candidate you will be enrolled in the TU Delft Graduate School.
The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
