Fully Funded Ph.D. Position available – TUBITAK project on 
“Interface-Resolved Direct Numerical Simulation of Droplet 
Evaporation”

Description: Our research group at Koç University is recruiting 
a Ph.D. student for Fall 2025. The project focuses on developing 
a high-fidelity fully 3D front-tracking method for interface-resolved 
direct numerical simulations of evaporating multiphase flow system 
including surfactant contamination and chemical reactions (combustion) 
and performing large scale interface-resolved DNS to examine 
(i) evaporation of a single droplet and droplet clouds in 
turbulent environment, (ii) effects of surfactant contamination 
and (iii) combustion of fuel droplets in engine-like conditions. 
 
Requirements: Applicants should have a background in mechanical engineering, 
aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, energy and power engineering,
applied mathematics, applied physics, or other related fields.

We seek applicants with a strong foundation in fluid mechanics, 
turbulent flows, multiphase flows, programming skills 
(Fortran, C/C++), familiarity with parallelization and 
high-performance computing and a dedicated, hardworking, 
and eager-to-learn attitude.

Stipend: 35000 TL/month
