Über diesen Job
Postdoctoral Fellow in AI-enhanced modelling of boiling multiphase flows
Your tasks
- Develop and extend the in-house GPU-accelerated multiphase Lattice Boltzmann (LBM) code for DNS-grade boiling multiphase flow related to nuclear reactor operation, including bubble dynamics and wall interaction phenomena
- Implement AI/ML models and multiscale coupling procedures to bridge the lattice Boltzmann codes with a two-fluid Eulerian macroscopic code
- Co-development of codes, including benchmarking and validation
- Publication of results in journals and conferences
Your profile
We are looking for a team player able to work independently with
- PhD degree in Mechanical or Nuclear Engineering / Natural Sciences / Environmental Sciences
- Experience in modelling fluid dynamics and multiphase flows (ideally with lattice Boltzmann method)
- Strong experience in programming (C/Cuda/Python). Familirarity with AI/ML methods for scientific computing and openness to explore different approaches
- Very good command of English is required (spoken and written)
We offer
Our institution is based on an interdisciplinary, innovative and dynamic collaboration. You will profit from a systematic training on the job, in addition to personal development possibilities and our pronounced vocational training culture. If you wish to optimally combine work and family life or other personal interests, we are able to support you with our modern employment conditions and the on-site infrastructure.
Employment contract is initially limited to 2 years, with possible extension depending on the performance and future project availability.
