PhD position: "Lattice Boltzmann Simulation of Unresolved Particles in Wall-Bounded Turbulence" Particle-laden flows are found in many natural and industrial applications. In most cases, the flow field is turbulent, which requires a careful evaluation of particle-fluid interactions. Depending on the particle size, density, and flow characteristics, either resolved or unresolved particle models are considered in the literature. This project is an extension of our current in-house CFD code at Newcastle University (FlowLB), which is based on the lattice Boltzmann approach. This project aims to integrate “unresolved” particle models into the code. Unresolved (point) particles are smaller than the mesh size and will be handled in a Lagrangian manner. The PhD student will develop a particle model to simulate the motion and interaction of particles in wall-bounded turbulent regimes. While most studies are limited to spherical particles, this project will consider both spherical and non-spherical particles. The effect of particles on drag and mean, and fluctuating components of the flow parameters will be studied. Considering the abundance of particles in environmental and industrial flows, the outcome of this project is of immense importance to the scientific community, with the aim of providing a cleaner environment.Required skills: -Strong motivation and data analysis skills. -Strong background in fluid mechanics, or aerodynamics. -Experience in computational fluid dynamics (CFD). -Experience in implementing a project independently and working effectively in teams. -Strong English language proficiency. -Ability to think logically and possessing problem solving skills. Desired skills: -Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) knowledge, -Experience in particle-laden or multiphase flows, -Experience in turbulent flow simulations. Note: This project accepts self-funded applicants only. Newcastle University (UK) is among the top 130 universities globally. The School of Engineering is home to 15 outstanding research groups. The quality of our research is evidenced by the latest REF results. We were ranked 10th for the quality of our research outputs with 46% of outputs assessed as world-leading. Newcastle University is committed to being a fully inclusive Global University which actively recruits, supports and retains colleagues from all sectors of society. We value diversity as well as celebrate, support and thrive on the contributions of all our employees and the communities they represent. We are proud to be an equal opportunities employer and encourage applications from everybody, regardless of race, sex, ethnicity, religion, nationality, sexual orientation, age, disability, gender identity, marital status/civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, as well as being open to flexible working practices. |
