Offer Description
Project description
Third-cycle subject: Engineering Mechanics
The two PhD students recruited at KTH will be part of the newly established VINNOVA Competence Center AdTherM (Advanced Computing for Sustainable Thermal Management in Industry) targeting analyses of thermal processes in industrial applications. Additional PhD students will be recruited by Lund University and Luleå University of Technology, partners in AdTherM. The jointly identified key challenges will be studied by combining experiments, primarily carried out by the industrial partners in AdTherM, with model development and CFD simulation studies, primarily in academia. One of the two projects at KTH will make usage of Large Eddy Simulations (LES) to understand the behavior of flow separation and developed secondary flows on aerodynamic performance and heat transfer for flat and curved surfaces. In the other project, water spray cooling will be optimized to increase the heat transfer of both the liquid droplets as well as the steam distribution inside an infusion vessel. LES will be employed to assess the increased complexity regarding flow, heat, phase change, and relative motion of the particles. The PhD students will work in a research group within the successful research environment FLOW (www.flow.kth.se ) at the Department of Engineering Mechanics.
Supervision:Prof. Mihai Mihaescu and Prof. Lisa Prahl Wittberg is proposed to supervise the doctoral student. Decisions are made on admission.
