hela Sverige PhD-Position in Fluid Mechanics Related to Kiln Aerodynamics and Porous Media Flow
The Division of Fluid Mechanics at the Department of Applied Physics and Mechanical Engineering, Luleå University of Technology is offering four PhD-positions in Fluid Mechanics related to Kiln aerodynamics and Porous media flow. The students will work in an exiting and growing environment using the latest techniques within the area of fluid mechanics and with the possibility to develop contacts world-wide within as well industry as academy. The division is putting great effort on the working environment and to improve the research education. The division has furthermore a fairly good gender balance and in order to keep this we encourage females as well as males to apply. All positions will also imply that contacts are taken world-wide through, for instance, meetings, conferences and longer stays abroad.
Qualifications
The PhD candidates should have 240 credits of which 60 credits on an advanced level within Mechanical engineering, Applied physics, Civil engineering or equivalent. The candidates should also be excellent in written and oral communication in Swedish or in English. Knowledge about CFD and/or advanced measuring techniques such as LDV or PIV is a merit as well as a high quality and relevant student diploma work. Knowledge of the Swedish language can also be of importance since part of the work will be carried out in close co-operation with industry. A short description of the project will now follow
Modelling of the Transport of Substances through Reactive Porous Materials (Ref. no. 187-09)
In a project financed by the Swedish Research Council FORMAS the efficiency of a number of reactive filters will be evaluated in order to assess if potential reactive filter materials are appropriate for full-scale wastewater treatment applications. In this PhD-project the flow through such porous materials and the sorbation of substances onto its surfaces will therefore be modelled. The modelling will be based on first principles but it will be necessarily to include numerical tools such as Matlab and/or CFD. In a parallel PhD-project at the Division of urban water at LTU experiments will be carried out with wastewater and phosphate solutions while varying applied pressure and phosphorus concentrations. The results from the modelling and the experiments will be compared leading to refined models and new experimental set-ups. Hence this PhD-project implies a close cooperation with another research group in general
