Master thesis: Experimental projects at the R&D Fluid Dynamic Lab

You will be part of the Fluid Dynamic Lab team as Master Student. We are offering three positions that will experimentally investigate the effect of additively manufactured (AM) induced roughness on the heat transfer and pressure loss. In the fluid dynamics lab, two methods have been developed and verified that are suitable for these studies -the quasi Steady State Heat Transfer method (qSSHT) and the Surface Roughness Heat Transfer method (SRHT).

Two of the positions will be applying the qSSHT method in different perspectives.

The third position will be using the existing SRHT-rig where enlarged AM-induced surface roughness is investigated in regards of Nusselt number distributions.

LET’S TALK ABOUT YOU

Your profile

Your profile should show courses on gas fluid dynamics, dimensional similarity, numerical methods, and Matlab/Python. Good skills in English language are required both in speech and writing.

Your responsibilities

The master thesis project is well structured, and you will have a well experienced and competent supervisor. The project plan usually follows the path where you will be responsible for:
* Literature review
* Test rig preparation for testing
* Perform testing
* Analysis of test results
* Apply changes on the test rig, test procedure or analysis to improve the results
* Final report/presentation writing

Your opportunities for personal growth:

During the thesis you will acquire improved skills in dimensional analysis, data acquisition and mass flow/pressure/temperature measurements. Basic knowledge in additive manufacturing will be obtained. An assigned experienced supervisor will support you during the whole period. The goal of each of our Diploma Thesis’ is to create a work result that it might be worth publication and some examples of previous student projects from the lab can be found in the Journal of Turbomachinery and/or at ASME Turbo Expo (TURBO-14-1171, GT2014-25619, GT2015-42475, GT2017-64143, GT2018-75019).
