Functiebeschrijving

CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulations are performed to improve the design of the engine (using STAR-CCM+ package) in the CAE-Engine department. PACCAR engines are using a turbocharger. This device has always been difficult to model in CFD because of the rotating parts, the compression, the high Reynolds and the heat transfer. This component is essential for good fuel consumption and engine performance. New modelling tools are now available which makes the integration of the turbocharger in the whole engine model possible and can result in a better design.

The goal of this project is get a dynamic model of the turbocharger. The candidate will start by reviewing the literature available on this topic. The candidate will to build and validate the CFD models against literature and test results. Several aspects will be investigated: rotating/sliding modelling, turbulence models, mesh, local compressibility effects, heat transfer etc.

The duration of this internship is 8 months.The wished startdate is 07-11-2022.

Jouw profiel

Master in applied physics, mechanical engineering, automotive engineering or aerospace engineering.
We are looking for an independent trainee:

  • with a solid background in fluid dynamics and heat transfer and with experience in CFD simulations.
  • Knowledge on (diesel) engine is appreciated.
  • Fluent English is mandatory.
Please keep in mind that we can only consider students (who are enrolled at a school during the whole internship period) for our internships and graduation assignments. Due to current COVID-19 pandemics this internship might be done partially remotely and partially at DAF Eindhoven.

Afdeling

DAF Trucks is a truck manufacturing company. DAF products are sold and serviced throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, South America, Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
