Job Description
* With the increasing power density of automotive electronics, the development of adjustable and effective cooling systems is a necessity. One promising solution is to integrate the advantages of two-phase flow in a meandering geometrical structure. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to simulate the propagation of a Taylor bubble and its specific deformation inside a U-turn, which is an integral part of the studied two-phase cooling system
* For this purpose, in your master thesis you will review experimental and simulative data on the flow dynamics and fluctuations of the two-phase flow cooling system.
* Based on this, you will simulate the propagation of single bubbles inside a U-turn at chosen operational parameters.
* Last but not least, the simulation will be validated, and a mesh sensitivity study will be performed.
Qualifications
* Education: Master studies in the field of Computational Science, Computational Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, Mathematics or comparable
* Experience and Knowledge: very good knowledge of fluid dynamics and solid simulation background in OpenFOAM; experience in CFD simulations; strong programming skills in Python and/or MATLAB; C/C++ and knowledge on heat transfer mechanisms is an advantage
* Personality and Working Practice: you are a highly motivated, result-oriented and responsible team player who is committed, takes initiative, and is characterized by a self-sufficient way of working
* Languages: fluent in English, German language proficiency is an advantage
