Multiphase CFD Simulation of Aerosol Formation and Transport

The accurate description of aerosol formation and transport processes is linked to the detailed knowledge of the evolution of particle sizes in
the aerosol. In order to afford to simulate such effects by means of computational fluid dynamics, population balance equations are used
which allow to predict the development of the individual particles over a certain period of time on the basis of various models.

Further Information:

• Nucleation
• Coalescence
• Droplet Break-Up
• Condensation

In this work, an approach to an implementation of a population balance equation (PBE) in OpenFoam will be explored. By means of this PBE, the distribution of particles within an e-cigarette will be simulated to gain precise knowledge about the effect of these substances on the human body.

Requirements:

• Knowledge in fluid dynamics and modeling of physical/chemical processes
• Knowledge of CFD software (preferably OpenFoam)
• Interest in scientific development of different models for aerosol transport
• Good english skills

Further Information:

• Immediate start
• Possibility of employment at the rate of 20 hr/week
• Please send your application
