Postdoc in numerical simulations of multiphase flows in porous media - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Job description

The postdoctoral candidate will be part the research group Fluids-and-Surfaces at the Linné FLOW center at KTH. The focus of the research group is on understanding and modelling fundamental mechanisms for the transport of momentum, heat and mass between flowing fluids and materials.

The project aims at developing and using high-fidelity numerical methods for simulating single and multiphase pore-scale transport processes in three-dimensional porous media. This includes; i) extending and using our current wettability and immersed boundary methods within the framework of volume-of-fluids; ii) collaborating with other students in our group that work on phase-field models, molecular dynamics and effective models and; iii) contribute to multidisciplinary projects involving solute transport in/around hydrogels, microscaffolds and gas diffusion layers.

What we offer

• A position at a leading technical university that generates knowledge and skills for a sustainable future
• Engaged and ambitious colleagues along with a creative, international and dynamic working environment
• Works in Stockholm, in close proximity to nature
• Help to relocate and be settled in Sweden and at KTH
