Postdoc Positions on Cryogenic Hydrogen - The University of Melbourne (# of pos: 2)

Updated: over 2 years ago
Location: Melbourne, VICTORIA
Job Type: FullTime
Deadline: 03 Dec 2021

One of the positions will investigate the cryogenic hydrogen release behavior by conducting experiments in a flow chamber. Optical diagnostics and complementary tools will be used to study the interaction of the cryogenic fluid and ambient air. The candidate should have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or equivalent, with strong a background in thermo-fluids and demonstrated experimental skills on related projects. Experience with cryogenics and optical diagnostics is preferred.

The other position will develop computational fluid dynamics simulations of the cryogenic hydrogen plume. The investigation will include multi-dimensional simulation, as well as the development of new equations of state for cryogenic mixtures for use in the simulations, and subsequent validation with experimental results. The role also involves the development of low-order models to guide hydrogen plant design. The candidate should have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or equivalent, with a strong background in thermo-fluids and demonstrated record of CFD simulation on related topics. Experience with applying equations of state in simulation is preferred.
