Project Overview

We are seeking a talented PhD candidate to join our research team at Eindhoven University of Technology, focused on developing advanced atomization processes for producing high-quality metal powders. This project combines physical experiments and computational modeling to deepen our understanding of the atomization process, a crucial step in powder metallurgy and additive manufacturing.

Research Objectives

  • Develop a gas atomization CFD model that accurately simulates molten metal breakup during atomization, covering primary and secondary breakup processes.
  • Conduct digital inline holography experiments using surrogate liquids to capture critical data on spray dynamics, droplet sizes, and velocities.
  • Validate the CFD model using experimental results to ensure its accuracy in predicting the atomization process.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop a numerical framework that simulates molten metal breakup during atomization, covering primary and secondary breakup processes.
  • Design and perform experiments using digital inline holography to capture critical data on spray dynamics, droplet sizes, and velocities.
  • Validate the CFD model using experimental results to ensure its accuracy in predicting the atomization process.

Why Work with Us?

This PhD position offers a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge research that impacts industries such as additive manufacturing, steelmaking, and energy storage. You will gain access to state-of-the-art experimental and computational facilities and contribute to sustainable, innovative manufacturing technologies.

Project Team

You will work with a dynamic team of experts, including Dr. Giulia Finotello and Prof. Niels Deen at Eindhoven University of Technology, and Prof. René van Hout at Technion. The research interests of Giulia Finotello include development of advanced experimental techniques and numerical tools to investigate spraying dynamics. Prof. René van Hout is an expert in multiphase flow and particle behavior in turbulent flows. He specializes in advanced experimental techniques such as Particle Image Velocimetry and digital holography.

Requirements

  • Strong background in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and computational modeling (CFD) with a proven particle/flow simulation experience in multiphase flows.
  • Experience with Open Foam is beneficial.
  • Experience with experimental techniques such as digital holography and/or PIV is beneficial.
  • Experience to work in a multi-disciplinary team of researchers.
  • Fluent in spoken and written English.

Conditions of Employment

  • Full-time employment for four years, with an intermediate evaluation (go/no-go) after nine months.
  • Salary and benefits in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, scale P.
  • High-quality training programs and other support to grow into a self-aware, autonomous scientific researcher.
