A fully funded PhD position is available in the field of Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) at the University of Louvain (UClouvain). The successful
candidate will conduct research on turbulent natural convection with an
evaporative free surface — a topic of great relevance to both environmental and
engineering applications. This project forms part of a broader research
initiative aimed at deepening our understanding of natural convection at high
turbulence intensities with phase-change phenomena such as evaporation and
boiling.


The successful candidate will join the Multiphase and Reacting Flows
Group of  Professor M. Papalexandris at the Institute of Mechanics, Materials
and Civil Engineering at UCLouvain. Further information about the group’s
activities can be found on our website: https://sites.google.com/site/

The scholarship offers: competitive salary, health insurance
and social benefits, financial support for attending conferences and workshops,
and access to state-of-the-art computational facilities


Required
qualifications:
- Master's degree in Engineering, Mathematics or Physics
(preferably with some background in fluid mechanics and numerical analysis)
-
