The aim of this research work is to experimentally and numerically characterise
the lateral development of an air jet through a vented wall with and without a
macro-porous medium. The experimental study will be performed on a reduced scale
model.  Different cases could be studied and assessed: (i) The reference case
related to a free wall jet development without vented wall. (ii) Wall jet with
vented wall; (iii) wall jet with a vented wall associated to a macro-porous
medium filled randomly by spheres of the same diameter. Velocity measurements
will be performed with LDV (Laser Doppler Velocimetry) system in air and with
heated spheres in the macro-porous medium.

Velocity measurements will allow building velocity profiles for the three cases
described abovealong the jet axis. Different comparisons performed with the
reference case allow to characterize the effect of the vented wall with and
without a macro-porous medium on the lateral jet development along the jet axis.  

The numerical approach will be performed on the CFD Fluent package in order to
predict the air jet development under the same configurations.  Numerical
simulations will take into account the jet characteristics and also the
dimensions, locations and the shape of the holes. The aim is to validate the
model by comparisons with experimental data. Different turbulence mode

Analysis of experimental and numerical data should help to better understand the
effect of a vented wall on the local airflow behaviour around the holes on the
two sides of the vented wall interface and to analyse their dynamic
interactions.  This helps to detect the continuity or discontinuity of velocity
profiles in the lateral direction through the vented wall and also to draw some
laws at the different internal vented wall interfaces, with and without a
macro-porous medium.

The work will take place in Antony near Paris at Irstea (National Institute for
Environmental and Agricultural Science and Research).  
Qualification
This position requires a young or senior research scientist motivated to conduct
innovative research in the area of fluid dynamics. The minimum requirement: is a
Ph. D. related to airflow measurements and a good knowledge of numerical modelling.

Reducing the consumption of an aircraft promotes the use of laminar wings with
large aspect ratio. A large aspect ratio reduces the induced drag while a
so-called laminar profile allows the development of a laminar boundary layer
over a large part of the wing, thus reducing friction drag. However, a wing with
large aspect ratio is by nature flexible and therefore exhibits large stationary
and unsteady deformations under aerodynamic loads. Fundamental laminar /
turbulent transition mechanisms are well known for boundary layers developing on
fixed profiles. The Tollmien-Schlichting and Cross-Flow instabilities are
generally responsible for this transition on a cruising plane. For profiles
exhibiting a periodic oscillation movement (flexible wing), knowledge about
these transition mechanisms is lacking. The works of Desopper (1977) and more
recently of Studer (2005) have experimentally characterized the transition of
oscillating boundary layers developing on flat plates. Local stability analyzes
(Studer 2005) based on quasi-steady hypotheses were also carried out and showed
their predictive limit when the propagation time of the Tollmien-Schlichting
waves is comparable to the time of oscillation of the boundary layer. Not only
are the transition mechanisms for oscillating wings poorly known, but to our
knowledge there is no theoretical approach to generally address these
oscillatory boundary layer transition problems. The methodological objective of
this thesis is to develop such approaches in order to determine / analyze the
instabilities developing on oscillating boundary layers (with or without sweep)
for any frequency oscillatiton and amplitude of the oscillating motion. This
work will be based on recent methodological and numerical developments at the
Department of Aerodynamics, Aeroelasticity and Acoustics (DAAA) concerning the
determination of periodic solutions (stabilization techniques, harmonic balance
methods) and their stability by Floquet analyzes. The candidate will have to
extend to periodic flows the well-known resolvent analyzes for stationary flows.
At the beginning of the thesis, these approaches will be conducted on academic
configurations to accurately calculate periodic solutions. Then, these analyzes
will be extended to more realistic configurations of laminar wings with
different sweep angles. In this case, three-dimensional numerical LES / DNS
simulations will be performed. The stability analyzes will then be performed on
periodic components (phase averages) extracted from these simulations and
compared to the experimental results available at ONERA. Moreover, the validity
of the classical (quasi-steady) approach of the RANS transition criteria will be
evaluated.

We are looking for a postdoc to work on numerical simulations on multi-phase 
turbulent flows. The candidate will work with our team on an industrial project 
on scaling in petroleum pipelines. Both numerical and experimental studies will 
be conducted in the present project.

A PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Petroleum engineering, 
Applied Mathematics or a related field is required. The candidates must have a 
strong knowledge in computational fluid dynamics, preferably with OpenFoam, grid 
generation and also scientific programming (C++, Fortran, ...).
Background in Direct Numerical Simulation, HPC or machine learning would be an 
asset. English language is a prerequisite for the role.

The projects will be based in Interdisciplinary Fluid Dynamics Nucleus (NIDF), 
federal university of Rio de janeiro (UFRJ), which has one of the best equipped 
laboratories in world. The project will involve research collaboration with other 
universities around the world and also industrial partners.
The successful candidate will be expected to carry out research and publish 
scholarly papers. The position is available for 1 year with the possibility of an 
extension based on performance. The net salary is R$8,200 (Brazilian Reals).

A Ph.D. position is available in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at 
the Louisiana State University. The position is in the area of thermo-fluids 
and the research project involves experimental work. 

Requirements 
- A very good background in Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics.
- Preferably, experience in hands-on laboratory work. 
- Skilled in problem-solving, strong communication, technical writing, and 
teamwork.

Prospective applicants are requested to submit a cover letter, CV, and 
complete transcripts. Any other documents, like publications or specific 
qualifications, are also encouraged. Applicants who can start in Summer 2019 
are preferred.
