- PhD Position available at HZDR on:Experimental investigation of turbulent convection in liquid metals
—————————–
Many turbulent flows in nature and technical applications are driven by temperature differences. The aim of this project is to investigate such a turbulent convection in a laboratory set-up using liquid metal. The goal is to reveal the structure and the dynamics of the large scale circulation as well as the dynamics near the boundary layers. Therefore, different measuring techniques as the ultrasound Doppler velocimetry and the contactless inductive flow tomography are available. The experiments are supported by high performance numerical simulations from a project partner. The combined investigation will create a new milestone in the deep understanding of turbulent convection in liquid metals and their numerous applications in geo- and astrophysics as well as technical systems.
Requirements:
- Diploma or M.Sc in Physics, mechanical engineering or equivalent.
- Comprehensive technical skills and physical understanding.
Tasks:
- design of a cylindrical Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell -simultaneous measurements of velocity field, temperature field and heat flux inside the convection
- analysis of the three-dimensional structure and the dynamics of the “large scale circulation”
- comparison of the results to direct numerical simulations done by a project partner
- scientific publishing
The position is available from Oct. 1, 2017. For further information, please contact Tobias Vogt (t.vogt(at)hzdr.de) or Sven Eckert (s.eckert(at)hzdr.de)
