The Chair of Hydraulic turbomachinery at the Faculty of Mechanical engineering is looking for a
Research Associate / Post-Doc (m,f,x) for the development of 3D flow simulation methods (CFD) - The effect of alcohol fuels on cavitation and spray formation in maritime high-pressure injection devises, for 3 years, 39,83hours per week, TVL E14
The main research topic of the Chair of Hydraulic Fluid Machinery (HSM) is the development of customised CFD methods for the numerical simulation of multiphase flow in fluid machinery and their components. In maritime powertrains, alternative fuels for internal combustion engines e.g., alcohol fuels are considered. For example, by the use of methanol, cavitation structures and flow aggressiveness in the injector are fundamentally affected by the use of alcohols compared to conventional fuels. In a huge consortium with international academic and industrial partner, new CFD methods for the assessment of cavitation, cavitation erosion and spray characteristics of alcohol fuels in maritime high-pressure fuel injection devises are to be developed.

The Ruhr-Universität Bochum is one of Germany’s leading research universities, addressing the whole range of academic disciplines. A highly dynamic setting enables researchers and students to work across the traditional boundaries of academic subjects and faculties. To create knowledge networks within and beyond the university is RUB’s declared aim.
The Ruhr-Universität Bochum stands for diversity and equal opportunities. For this reason, we favour a working environment composed of heterogeneous teams, and seek to promote the careers of individuals who are underrepresented in our respective professional areas. The Ruhr-Universität Bochum expressly requests job applications from women. In areas in which they are underrepresented they will be given preference in the case of equivalent qualifications with male candidates. Applications from individuals with disabilities are most welcome.
