PhD Position: LES-DNS of liquid metal turbulent flows

PhD Position: LES-DNS of liquid metal turbulent flows Job description: At Institute for Nuclear and Energy Technologies (IKET) a PhD fellowship in computational modelling of liquid metal turbulent flows is available.

The project aims to reveal better understanding of liquid metal turbulence. Analytical and numerical studies will be used to investigate turbulent heat and mass transfer in liquid metals. The research will be carried out within a cooperation between IKET, University Karlsruhe and partners from the Industry.

The focus will be on:
Development and implementation of a combined Large Eddy Simulations (LES) and direct numerical simulations (DNS) method. Numerical predictions of turbulent heat and mass transfer in liquid metals.
