Our reference number: 0055_20_D2
Our small team conducts experimental research of heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics and fluidics. We also focus on passive and active control of flow and temperature fields and intensification of heat and mass transfer in forced convection (e.g. impinging and synthetic jets, wakes). The laboratory encomasses modern trends based on the biomimetic principle: known and well-tried concepts of biological systems in nature are applied to technology to enhance human products.
The successful candidate will conduct the following tasks:
- Research in the field of thermodynamics, especially heat and mass transfer
- Design of experimental set ups
- Measurement of temperature and velocity fields in flowing fluids
- Data analysis, determination of transport coefficients
- Writing scientific papers
The successful candidate will be expected to collaborate on projects of core and applied research.
