Post-Doctoral Fellow

• →The successful candidate will work on high-fidelity computational modeling of droplet dynamics, droplet–droplet interactions, and droplet interactions with solid surfaces, with particular emphasis on applications relevant to aircraft and wind-turbine icing.
• →Research topics may include droplet impact, deformation, coalescence, breakup, splashing, heat transfer, phase change/freezing, and the interaction of multiple droplets with cold surfaces.
• →The project will involve development and application of advanced numerical methods for interfacial multiphase flows, analysis of the governing physical mechanisms, and comparison with available experimental data.

• Applicants should have: A Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Applied Mathematics, Computational Science, or a closely related field.
• A strong background in computational fluid dynamics and multiphase/interfacial flows.
• Experience with numerical modeling of droplets, free-surface flows, phase change, heat transfer, or related transport phenomena.
• Strong programming and scientific computing skills.
• A record of peer-reviewed publications and the ability to conduct independent research and communicate results effectively.
• Experience with OpenFOAM and/or Basilisk is highly desirable.
• Experience with interface-capturing methods such as VOF, adaptive mesh refinement, high- performance computing, or simulations involving droplet impact and solidification/freezing would also be advantageous.

The postdoctoral researcher will have opportunities to contribute to model development, conduct large-scale numerical simulations, collaborate with experimental and computational researchers, publish in leading journals, and mentor graduate and undergraduate students.
