Job Description

Job description

We invite applications for a postdoctoral researcher experienced in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and turbulence modelling who possesses strong interpersonal skills.

Streaming electrification is an electrokinetic phenomenon involving charge separation at a solid-liquid interface due to flow movement. The magnitude of the streaming current depends on the turbulent intensity. In this postdoc project we will use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and turbulence modeling to investigate the characteristics of streaming electrification, specifically the interaction between the electric double layer and the turbulent boundary layer.

Streaming electrification can affect the electric stress in the high voltage insulation system of power transformers, critical components in the electric power grid. Improved modeling will facilitate the transition to sustainable materials and innovative design solutions.
