Kungliga Tekniska Högskolan, Institutionen för mekanik
KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm is the largest and oldest technical university in Sweden. No less than one-third of Sweden’s technical research and engineering education capacity at university level is provided by KTH. Education and research spans from natural sciences to all branches of engineering and includes Architecture, Industrial Management and Urban Planning. There are a total of 13,400 first and second level students and almost 1,900 doctoral students. KTH has 4,900 employees.
KTH Engineering Sciences carries out a wide range of research at the international front line, from fundamental disciplines such as physics and mathematics, to engineering mechanics with applications such as aeronautics and vehicle engineering. We also offer University degree programs in Engineering Physics, Vehicle Engineering, and ‘Open Entrance’, as well as a number of International Masters Programmes.
The institution mechanics at KTH Enginerring Sciences houses Sweden’s leading research environment in fluid mechanics for both basic and applied fluid dynamics research. The researchers within the department participate in several research centres at KTH, among them the Linné FLOW Centre (www.flow.kth.se), one of twenty Centres of excellence that was chosen by the Swedish Research Council (VR) in 2006 and CCGEx (www.ccgex.kth.se), a competence centre focused on gas exchange for internal combustion engines:
KTH Mechanics invites applications for a postdoc scholarship dealing with the intermittent jet injection and its break-up.
Project description
The project will focus on intermittent jet injection and its break-up, utilizing time-resolved, stereoscopic (and in a later stage tomographic) particle image velocimetry (PIV) to study the flow inside the cylinder. The first part of the study involves designing a suitable experimental setup. The second part will be studies of the flow under various conditions.
Qualifications
Applicants should have a recent PhD within experimental fluid mechanics. Practical experience of PIV measurements in complex flows, but also other measurement techniques such as hot-wire anemometry and/or laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) are desirable. Experience of advanced data-analysis methods such as POD is also expected of the successful candidate.
Furthermore, a strong publication record in international journals and conferences is expected.
Application
