Graduate Student Assistantship

普渡哥 · 发表于 2012-2-28 11:21:31

Description:A graduate student assistantship is available at the Florida International University. The project will be executed at the Applied Research Center (http://www.arc.fiu.edu) while the student is expected to pursue a M.S./Ph.D. at the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at FIU (http://www.mme.fiu.edu).

The student will work on a project that aims to develop an accurate drag correlation for gas-solid multiphase flow with clustered particles in fluidized beds using experimental testing and direct numerical simulations (DNS). The experiments will involve utilization of high speed imaging in order to capture instantaneous solid volume fraction and particle velocities.

The clustered particle structures that are imaged will be converted into a computational model where the detailed flow field around the particles will be resolved using DNS, which will aid in developing a drag force correlation for the clustered particles. The drag force correlation will then be implemented in the open-source two-fluid multiphase flow solver MFIX code in order to evaluate the accuracy by comparing the simulation results against experimental data in the vertical riser.

Desired qualifications:
- B.S (M.S. preferred) degree in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or a related field.
- Strong background in fluid mechanics and multiphase systems
- Experience with conducting experiments, image processing and data acquisition
- Proficiency in a programming language such as Fortran 90, C, C++
- Experience with scripting languages and Linux/Unix operating systems
- Experience with commercial or open source computational fluid mechanics software
- Fluency in English
To apply:Interested applicants should send their resume to Dr. Seckin Gokaltun (gokaltun<at>fiu.edu) with a cover letter describing their qualification for the project.
