General information
Offer title : Post-doctoral position (M/F) in numerical simulation and modelling of liquid films (H/F)
Reference : UPR288-AYMVIE-003
Number of position : 1
Workplace : GIF SUR YVETTE
Date of publication : 05 July 2025
Type of Contract : Researcher in FTC
Contract Period : 12 months
Expected date of employment : 1 September 2025
Proportion of work : Full Time
Remuneration : between 3081,33 and 4653,50 € (gross salary), depending on experience
Desired level of education : Doctorate
Experience required : Indifferent
Section(s) CN : 10 - Fluid and reactive environments: transport, transfer, transformation processes
Missions
The aim of this post-doctorate is to use a numerical simulation tool to set up a set of validation test cases, which can be compared with experience, for the simulation of liquid films. These simulations will be based primarily on an interface-resolved approach, but will also call for the development of Saint-Venant-type reduced models to describe the films.
Activities
The various tasks will be:
-analysis of scientific literature
-familiarization with simulation tools
-setting up canonical validation test cases
-numerical simulation using direct approach and analysis
-development and implementation of scale models
Skills
The candidate should have expertise in numerical simulation and modeling of fluid flows, especially in the field of two-phase flows.
Work Context
This work is set in the context of the development of numerical simulation models and tools for energy applications such as the cooling of electrical machines. The work will be carried out using open-source tools (OpenFOAM), and will focus on academic applications.
The position is located in a sector under the protection of scientific and technical potential (PPST), and therefore requires, in accordance with the regulations, that your arrival is authorized by the competent authority of the MESR.
