Student Research Assistant (HiWi)
We are looking for a motivated student (Studentische Hilfskraft, HiWi) for code
development, implementation and documentation of the simulation codes.

Who we are
The German Research School for Simulation Sciences is a joint graduate school of RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich. Our aim is to train the next generation of computational scientists and engineers. Combining the specific strengths of our founders in the fields of natural sciences and high-performance computing in an unprecedented, synergistic manner, we provide a unique environment for cutting-edge interdisciplinary research and education in the applications and methods of simulation in science and engineering.
The focus of the group Applied Supercomputing in Engineering is on simulations of large technical applications, in particular in the field of fluid dynmaics. The main research topics are multi-physics and multi-scale problems as well as the efficient realization of such problems on high performance computers.

Description of Work
Flat plate silencers are usually made of a porous metal or plastic plate. We are concerned with simulating the flow through such a porous flat plate silencer and gaining insight into the flow mechanisms at the outlet (turbulence, vortex structures, etc.), which embody acoustical sources and are hence the main reason for the generation of noise.

The task will be validating and extending our fluid simulation code together with the supervisors. Our code is based on the Lattice Boltzmann Method, an alternative to traditional CFD methods based on the statistical movement of fluid particles.
The working hours will be around 20-40 hours per month with a minimal total duration of six months.

What we expect

• Programming skills, preferably Fortran, but any other programming language is also fine. Basic skills are mandatory, deeper knowledge can be gained and developed on the job.
• Motivation to learn and to dive into a new field of work

• Proactivity, team work

What we offer

• Gain experience in working scientifically
• Increase knowledge in fluid dynamics, physical modeling, numerics and working with supercomputers
• Flexible working hours

• Possible topics for proceeding student projects, bachelor and master thesis

Interested?
We are looking forward to receive your application.
