Job Description

With the increasing power density of automotive electronics, the development of effective cooling systems is a necessity. One promising solution is to integrate the advantages of two-phase flow in meandering geometrical structure. Thus, the aim of this thesis is to model a two-phase cooling system with 2D simulations and perform a sensitivity analysis of geometrical and operational parameters.

• During your master thesis, you will review experimental and simulative data on the flow dynamics and fluctuations of the two-phase flow cooling system.
• Based on it, you will simulate a 2D simplified flow of the two-phase cooling device with ANSYS or OpenFOAM.
• The simulation will be validated and you will conduct a mesh sensitivity analysis.
• After that, you will perform a sensitivity analysis by varying chosen parameters.

Qualifications

• Education: Master studies in the field of Computational Science, Computational Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace, Mathematics or comparable
• Experience and Knowledge: very good knowledge of fluid dynamics and solid simulation background in OpenFOAM and/or ANSYS, strong programming skills in Python and/or MATLAB, C/C++ as well as knowledge on heat transfer mechanisms is an advantage
• Personality and Working Practice: you are ahighly motivated, result-oriented, responsible and committed team-player, with a self-sufficient way of working
• Languages: fluent in English and German is a plus
