The team is responsible for bringing forth and analysing new engine solutions and associated technologies with focus on thermodynamics and combustion. The group, today 14 in size, is a multi-functional group including 1D and 3D simulation and testing in both single cylinder and complete engines.
We are faced by the challenges to further improve fuel efficiency and reduce CO2, NOx and particulate emissions. This includes further improvement of the Diesel engine, adaption and optimization for new truck and powertrain concepts, including hybrid drivelines, and the development of alternative fuels technologies. Early conceptual designs are investigated and characterized through tight cooperation between testing and simulations. Selection and optimization of systems and components are to a large extent done by the guidance of simulation results in collaboration with project leader, system responsible, component responsible, and sometimes suppliers.
As a Research Engineer in the area of combustion simulations you will be involved in the design and analysis of new engine combustion concepts and technologies using CFD as the main tool. As simulations and theoretical analysis is taking an increasingly important role in both early phases of technology development and in the validation and verification process of product development, you will also be involved in the development of new methods and tools to improve the fidelity and accuracy of models and to push the limits for what can be done though modelling and simulations.
We are working in a creative environment with both advanced tools for simulations and testing, and demanding physical and thermodynamic problems. We have frequent cooperation and interaction with other groups within Volvo Group Trucks Technology, other parts of Volvo Group, suppliers and with universities.
