Job Title: Research Assistant/Associate in Computational Fluid Dynamics and Computational Combustion

About the Role

We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled Research Assistant/Associate to join our team in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Computational Combustion. The successful candidate will be responsible for designing and delivering research outcomes in CFD and Computational Combustion, and will work closely with our PhD students and the wider research community within the group.

About the Project

The research aims to deliver on the following objectives:

  • An advanced Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) database for hydrogen-air premixed swirl flames under representative combustor operating conditions.
  • A comprehensive understanding and a detailed analysis of the behaviour of the Processing Vortex Core (PVC) under non-reacting and reacting flow conditions.
  • Identification of the combustor operating conditions for which hydrodynamic/thermoacoustic instabilities exist.
  • An in-depth analysis on extinction strain rates and heat release rate for lean hydrogen premixed flames.

About the Team

Our research group is based in the and has world-leading expertise in CFD, turbulent flows, and turbulent reacting flows. We are committed to building and maintaining a fair and inclusive working environment and would be happy to discuss arrangements for flexible and/or blended working.
