What are the responsibilities and job description for the Postdoctoral Appointee - CFD Modeling of Industrial Burners position at Argonne National Laboratory?
The Multi-Physics Computations group at Argonne National Laboratory is seeking to hire a postdoctoral appointee on the topic of industrial burner CFD modeling. The successful candidate will leverage high-performance computing (HPC) resources at the Laboratory to perform CFD simulations of complex industrial burner systems involving modeling of low-carbon fuel injection and mixing, turbulent combustion, heat transfer, combustion, and emissions.
The successful candidate's research will involve synergistic collaborations within a multidisciplinary team comprised of fellow postdoctoral appointees and staff scientists with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and artificial intelligence / machine learning (AI / ML) expertise, with the goal to enhance predictive capability and scalability of multi-scale and multi-physics simulation codes.
- Develop accurate and computationally efficient CFD models and perform simulations of the entire chain of physics and chemistry involved with fuel-air mixing, turbulent combustion, heat transfer, and emissions of industrial burners.
- Perform high-fidelity reacting simulations that involve both conventional and low-carbon fuels, with emphasis on hydrogen and alcohol-based bio-fuels.
- Improve the computational efficiency and accuracy of physics-based and data-driven models for hydrogen / bio-fuel combustion in industrial burners.
- Work as a part of a multidisciplinary team involving experimentalists, CFD experts, and computational scientists to enable cutting-edge CFD modeling & simulations on the next generation supercomputing architectures.
