Research Assistant in Cryogenic Fluid Dynamics

4 months ago


Bedford, Bedford, United Kingdom CRANFIELD UNIVERSITY Full time

School/Department: School of Aerospace, Transport and Manufacturing

Based at: Cranfield Campus, Cranfield, Bedfordshire

Hours of work: 37 hours per week, normally worked Monday to Friday. Flexible working will be considered.

Contract type: Fixed term contract

Fixed Term Period: Until 31 March 2027

Salary: Full time starting salary is normally in the range of £28,203 to £31,230 per annum

Apply by: 30/06/2024

Role Description

We are excited to invite applications for this new Research Assistant post in an emerging field. The responsibilities associated with this role will contribute to a funded project aimed at constructing and operating multiple test rigs dedicated to liquid and vapor hydrogen systems. This includes the facets of storage, pumping, venting, and all associated subsystems specifically designed for hydrogen-powered civil aviation.

About the Role

We are in search of a highly motivated Research Assistant to join our team. The successful candidate will undertake simulations of fluid dynamics and system dynamics for LH2 (liquid hydrogen) systems, with a particular emphasis on 2-phase flow. Additionally, they will provide crucial support to the cryogenic team by offering insights into system performance to aid decision-making processes. The post-holder will also acquire and expand their knowledge on hydrogen and liquid hydrogen to contribute to the progress of our research and development endeavours.

Responsibilities include conducting simulations of fluid and system dynamics for LH2 systems, analysing simulation results to assess system performance and optimize design, assisting the cryogenic team in decision-making processes by offering insights from simulation results, and acquiring knowledge on hydrogen and liquid hydrogen properties, behaviour, and applications. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional teams to incorporate simulation findings into LH2 system design and development, stay updated on simulation techniques and tools, and contribute to research efforts by participating in experimental testing, data analysis, and documentation of simulation methodologies, results, and findings for internal reference and reporting purposes.

About You

The ideal candidate should possess a Master's degree (MSc / MEng) in Aeronautical or Mechanical Engineering. They should demonstrate proficiency in simulating transient fluid, mechanical, and electric system performance using software packages such as Simscape, Modelica, and Amesim. Applied programming skills in tools like Matlab and Python are essential, along with experience in numerical methods for solving ordinary and partial differential equations (ODEs and PDEs). Additionally, strong fundamentals in heat and mass transfer, coupled with a sound understanding of fuel and fluid-mechanical components and systems, are required. Experience in hydrogen fuel system developments in aerospace and familiarity with two-phase flow effects would be advantageous. Excellent verbal, written communication, and presentation skills are necessary, along with the ability to work effectively as part of a team, good organizational skills, and proficiency in problem-solving. Experience in project or research management in aerospace-related projects and relevant industrial or practical experience would be beneficial, as well as a track record of contributing to writing papers and publications.
