Research Fellow in Computational Fluid-Structure Interaction
The successful candidate will work on the EPSRC-funded project, MAPFSI, focusing on developing computational algorithms for fluid-structure interaction problems including multiphysics effect of electromagnetism into consideration.
Responsibilities
* Develop advanced numerical methodologies and the associated software framework for the simulation of fluid-structure interactions of magnetoactive polymers, contributing to the success of the project.
* Validate the computational models using benchmarks and experimental results.
* Assess and improve the performance of algorithms on high-performance computing (HPC) clusters.
* Work closely with other post-docs and PhD students in the project in developing the simulation software.
* Visit academic and industrial partners, as necessary, for knowledge exchange activities and project meetings.
Qualifications
* A PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Biomedical Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, Computational Mechanics/Engineering or related discipline. (Thesis submitted by the start date of the position.)
* Strong working knowledge of numerical methods such as FEM, FDM, and/or FVM.
* Demonstrable experience in formulating problems using the finite element method for problems in solid mechanics and fluid mechanics.
* Proven hands-on experience with code development for computational fluid dynamics or computational solid mechanics using the finite element method.
* Demonstrable experience of working with programming languages such as C++, Fortran and Python.
* Proven hands-on experience in using simulation software such as ANSYS, OpenFOAM, StarCCM+, COMSOL etc.
* Strong organisational and communication skills, with the ability to prioritise tasks, work independently and collaboratively work with other group members.
* Proven track record of publishing articles in international journals and presentations at conferences.
