Offer Description
To develop models for ignition in highly compressible hydrogen and uses these models in high-fidelity simulations on supercomputers to predict the safety risk of hydrogen leaks. The model development and the high-resolution simulations of compressible reactive hydrogen will yield a high number of novel results related to the description of the flow conditions after hydrogen leakage in high-pressure tanks. The doctoral candidate will acquire skills on: (1) modelling and simulation using high efficiency computers, (2) safety of hydrogen technologies.
The doctoral student will be employed at Polytechnic University of Catalunya (Barcelona, Spain), where will spend one year, and will spend 18 months at Technical University of Darmstadt (Darmstadt, Germany), including six months in the company Barcelona Supercomputing Center (Barcelona, Spain). After accomplished education the doctoral student will acquire a double PhD degree from UPC and from TUDa.
The project Unite!Energy, is funded by the DN-Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) call of the European Commission and is offering 12 fellowships starting in 2025 academic year. Each scholarship includes periods at two of the participating universities, and a secondment to an institution or company, to study the technology in a practical environment. For specific information about each position please write to: unite.energy@upc.edu.
Supervision: the doctoral student will be supervised by Prof. Manel Soria Guerrero, Prof. Arnau Miró Jané (UPC) and Prof. Christian Hasse (TUDa).
