Job Title:
Research Assistant in Engine Modelling
Description:
The Propulsion & Pollution Modelling Research Group at Oxford Brookes University is seeking a Research Assistant for a project focused on developing advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to support the conceptualisation, design and control optimisation of fuel injection and combustion using sustainable net-zero fuels.
* The researcher will undertake independent research in IC engine CFD modelling, contributing to the development and application of effective in-cylinder CFD modelling methodologies.
* A key responsibility will be to develop and operate a validated engine model and produce numerical results, automating pre/post processing of CFD simulations where necessary.
* Prior experience in processing, analysing, manipulating and presenting numerical and experimental engine data is essential, as is the ability to publish papers and contribute to conferences.
Requirements:
To be considered for this role, you will need to demonstrate expertise in CFD modelling and experience working with net-zero fuels. The ideal candidate will have strong analytical skills, excellent communication abilities and a proven track record of publishing research in top-tier journals.
Benefits:
This position offers an exciting opportunity to work at the forefront of IC engine research, collaborating with a talented team of researchers and academics. You can expect to gain valuable experience and skills, as well as the chance to contribute to high-impact research that drives innovation in the field.
About the Project:
This project aims to develop new CFD models that can accurately simulate the behaviour of net-zero fuels in IC engines. The successful candidate will play a key role in designing, implementing and testing these models, with a focus on achieving optimal performance and efficiency.
