PhD position on combustion instabilities of hydrogen flames
100%, Zurich, fixed-term
The goal of this research is to investigate turbulent hydrogen-air combustion at elevated pressure. This research is relevant for future hydrogen combustors for power generation and aircraft engines. The position is financed by an ERC Synergy Grant (project HYROPE).
Project background
The small-scale turbulence-chemistry interaction, the large-scale hydrodynamic and thermoacoustic stability, and the nitrogen oxide production pathways of propagating and autoigniting hydrogen-air flames must be understood in order to develop new technologies. In particular, the influence of the pressure on the combustion physics of these flames needs to be elucidated.
Job description
This research work will combine experiments and modeling. The experimental research will be performed on a lab-scale, high-pressure test facility. Experimental techniques for fluid mechanics, combustion and acoustics will be used, including laser-based optical diagnostics. The modeling work will consist in the development of analytical low-order models of the combustion instabilities, and in large eddy simulations of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations.
Your profile
You are expected to have a MSc degree in Mechanical Engineering or Physics. Your MSc thesis should be related to one or more of the following disciplines: fluid mechanics, combustion, acoustics. Solid background in math and physics is required. Ideally, you would be available for a start in October 2024.
We are looking for highly motivated, committed, and creative individuals, able to work in a team and with excellent communication skills. Working in a top-level research environment with advanced laboratory infrastructure, the candidate will have a unique opportunity to develop her/his research abilities.
