PhD Student (f/m/d) EU Horizon MSCA- Doctorate Network CaviPRO: Modelling of diffusion and reactions of hydroxyl radicals generated by cavity collapse

With cutting-edge research in the fields of ENERGY, HEALTH and MATTER, around 1,500 employees from more than 70 nations at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) are committed to mastering the great challenges facing society today.

The Institute of Fluid Dynamics is conducting basic and applied research in the fields of thermo-fluid dynamics and magnetohydrodynamics in order to improve the sustainability, the energy efficiency and the safety of industrial processes.

The Group Thermal energy technology is looking for a PhD Student (f/m/d) EU Horizon MSCA- Doctorate Network CaviPRO: Modelling of diffusion and reactions of hydroxyl radicals generated by cavity collapse.

Your tasks

• Characterize the impact of cavitation - vortex - turbulence interaction on cavitation (DNS with the parallel, hierarchic code PHASTA) on a scale of tens of bubbles
• Quantify the impact of related physical mechanisms on the concentration and diffusion rate of OH radicals with DNS
• Quantify interactions of diffusion and reactions of OH radicals considering the cavitation - vortex - turbulence interaction for different hydraulic conditions

Your profile

• Completed university studies (Master/Diploma) in the field of process engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering or comparable fields
• Knowledge in cavitation, thermodynamics, hydrodynamics, phase change processes
• Willingness to work on numerical and experimental problems
• Very good team work and communication skills
• Very good English language skills (written and spoken)

Our offer

• A vibrant research community in an open, diverse and international work environment
• Scientific excellence and extensive professional networking opportunities
• A structured PhD program with a comprehensive range of continuing education and networking opportunities - more information about the PhD program at the HZDR can be found here
