There is a german version of this page available (including detailed job description).

- Open position in parallel CFD in the field of multiphase flow research -

The open position will be financed by the Deutsche Forschungsgesellschaft (DFG) and is limited in time to the 31. Dezember 1998. In the (very probable) case of prolongation of the project the position can also be prolongated for 3 years to the 31. Dezember 2001. Applications shoud be sent to Dr. Thomas Frank as soon as possible, but not later than 10. Juli 1998.

The position is open from the 1. July 1998.

Job description
  • development of efficient parallel algorithms for numerical simulation of 3-dimensional, staedy or unsteady, disperse multiphase flows (gas-particle, gas-droplet flows) with strong phase coupling effects
  • development, implementation and verification of methods for numerical simulation of 2- and 3-dimensional disperse multiphase flows using the Lagrangian approach; adaptation of numerical methods to Navier-Stokes solvers based on the finite volume discretization method on structured and unstructured grids
  • cooperation with other projects of the DFG special research department (DFG-SFB 393) for development aand implementation of efficient mathematical solution algorithms (CG solver with hierarchical DD preconditioning, multigrid)
  • development of parallel solution algorithms for the phase-coupled problem on massiv parallel machines (MIMD); domain decomposition methods; parallel Lagrangian solvers
  • work on adaptation of existing/commercial pre- and postprocessing
Qualifications required
  • diploma in the field of CFD or numerical mathematics
  • knowledge and experience in the field of development/implementation of finite-volume methods for solving problems in the field of fluid dynamics; knowledge in the field of domain decomposition methods / parallelization of CFD codes on MIMD computers
  • usual knowledge in programming in UNIX-based environment and in programming in C (and/or FORTRAN); knowledge of at least one of the standard message passing systems MPI (and/or PVM)
  • Further, knowledge on physical phenomena, theoretical modelling and numerical treatment of disperse multiphase flows (gas-particle, gas-droplet flows) is desirable.
Further information can be obtained from the job description in german language and from the web site of our research group.
