Master Thesis CFD Plasma Physics

Company Description


AFRY is a European leader in engineering, design, and advisory services, with a global reach. We accelerate the transition towards a sustainable society.
We are 16,000 devoted experts in infrastructure, industry, energy and digitalisation, creating sustainable solutions for generations to come.


Job Description


The thesis aims to develop a calculation model and reaction kinetics and flow mechanics for reactions in cold plasma of air. Cold plasma means that the ionized molecules are not in thermal equilibrium with surrounding neutral oxygen and nitrogen molecules. The application is about electron sterilization of packaging where the plasma is a by-product. In the application, free radicals (ozone and nitric oxide) must be handled to ensure the process. The simulation model will be a coupled flow of reactive multicomponent mixture of gas and electromagnetic fields. The simulation results will be compared with measurements from experiments and literature. The degree project will be performed in StarCCM + and GT-Suite.


Qualifications


You need to have good knowledge about mathematical modelling of chemical and radical reactions and such processes. Thus suitable Masters program for this master thesis would be within Chemical Engineering and Engineering Physics.
