DCU Water Institute: Postdoctoral researcher position 1182 views

The DCU Water Institute at the Dublin City University is inviting applications for Postdoctorate researcher in Multiphase Flow specialising in the study of micro bubble plume and dissolved oxygen mixing.

Duration: 24 months Fixed Term Contract

Role and responsibilities:

• The candidate should be highly motivated and talented to conduct computational and laboratory based experimental research in micro bubble plume mixing and oxygen dissolution.
• The successful candidate will be responsible for the development and benchmarking of two computational solvers based, on the one hand, on a Lagrangian model coupled with a dissolved oxygen transport equations and, on the other hand, on a Euler-Euler solution.
• The code will also be extended to capture the effect of mixers using momentum source terms.
• The successful candidate will also work with a team of engineers, a consultant and a research assistant on the specification of the facility and subsequent full scale validation tests.

Requirements:

• Applicants must be a Mechanical engineer or equivalent.
• Applicant must hold PhD or equivalent is essential and the successful candidate must have a proven track record of research and development in the areas that are directly relevant to the position.
• Applicant must have research experience in the following areas: (i) Computational Fluid Dynamics of multiphase flow and (ii) experimental characterisation of gas and/or solid particle transport and (iii) hydraulic system design.
