Job Description

The goal of this internship is to enable adjoint based optimization for reactive flows using the open-source CFD code SU2 (https://su2code.github.io/). Reaction kinetics shall be modeled using a flamelet progress variable (FPV) approach. Therefore an efficient chemistry tabulation approach is to be adopted from published methodologies or a novel approach can be developed. Existing in-house implementations of tabulation and look-up techniques are available in form of a MATLAB tool as a foundation for these developments. Besides working on the software codes in MATLAB and C++, the intern will have the chance to contribute to a publication on the MATLAB code which is potentially released as an open source software package in the future.

JOB DESCRIPTION

• Further develop FPV model in SU2 including necessary chemistry table look-up routines
• Further develop MATLAB table generation tool to fit SU2 implementation
• Verify/validate reactive flow implementation in SU2
• Document work for internal and external publications

Qualifications

Required:

• C++ and MATLAB (GUI) programming experience
• CFD experience
• Strong communication and teamwork skills
• Strong writing and publication skills

Desired:

• Experience with the open-source SU2 suite
• Background in combustion modeling, especially flamelet approaches
• Experience with contributing to open source projects

Additional Information

• Major(s): Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related fields
• Degree level: PhD or Masters – Must be a current student or recent graduate (less than 1 year)
• Start Date: June 1st, 2019 or later
• Duration: 3 months

By choice, we are committed to a diverse workforce - EOE/Protected Veteran/Disabled.
