Doctoral student in Numerical simulations in fluid mechanics

School of Engineering Sciences at KTH

Project description

Third-cycle subject: Engineering Mechanics

This project is part of LUBFLOW, which has the objective to develop a fundamental understanding of lubricant-infused surfaces in fluid flows, which could have significant implications for various technological applications.

We are now seeking a PhD student in computational fluid mechanics.

A lubricant-infused surface (LIS) is a structured surface infused with a viscous liquid layer. These slippery surfaces are partially inspired by the carnivorous Nepenthes pitcher plant. LISs have shown great promise for reducing fluid friction, preventing biofouling and increasing heat transfer in fluid flows. However, the behaviour of LISs in realistic flow environments is very difficult to predict. LUBFLOW will therefore investigate LISs in fluid flows that include turbulence, surfactants and bacteria. This could lead to better control of fluid flows and broad technological advancements.

Main purpose of the computational work that will carried out in this project are:

  • Discover new physics and functions of liquid-infused surfaces in laminar and turbulent flows including effects of surfactants, interfacial phenomena, particle dynamics, thermocapillary etc.
  • Interact and contribute to physical understanding of experimental observations related to other LUBFLOW projects.

This project also allows for serendipitous tasks in international collaboration. We have extensive experience with computational fluid mechanics both within the research group and division of fluid mechanics at KTH. We also have access to large computing allocations in Sweden.

This position provides an exciting opportunity for talented and motivated researchers to work on a cutting-edge research project.

Doctoral student (licentiate) in Public Transport Network Design

School of Architecture and Built Environment at KTH

Project description

Third-cycle subject: Transport Science

In order for Sweden to achieve its transport policy sustainability goals, a large number of different solutions are required, where competitive public transport is a fundamental component. An efficient line network is important for two reasons: firstly from a socio-economic point of view, as savings in the form of faster journey times mean profits for the individual, and secondly from an economic point of view in the form of savings for authorities. In practice, the development of line networks takes place with a qualitative, artisanal know-how. At the same time, digital developments have enabled new tools to understand passenger movements (e.g., data from digital ticketing systems) and more computing power to perform complex calculations, creating the potential to use algorithms to create more efficient line networks.

We are now looking for a PhD student who, in collaboration with Region Stockholm and Nobina Sweden, wants to contribute to the development of practically useful algorithms and processes for designing line networks for public transport. The research is intended to include knowledge gathering through literature search and dialogue, further development of algorithms and investigation of new data sources, development of tools for communication of results, and investigation of potential for commercialization.

Postdoc in experimental fluid mechanics

School of Engineering Sciences at KTH

Job description

The postdoctoral researcher will conduct experimental (and if suitable and possible numerical) studies of various types of flow instabilities both within boundary layers that develop on rotating cones of various sharpness and within an eccentric Taylor-Couette-Poiseuille (eTCP) flow for studies of flow instabilities and transition to turbulence. Both set-ups are already existent. The former has produced a number of publications (the latest being: Ref1, Ref2, Ref3), while the second is ready for use and has produced preliminary flow visualizations. For the project, measurements will be undertaken with a multi-component LDV system and stereoscopic PIV, hence experience in experimental fluid mechanics is instrumental. Linear stability analysis and numerical simulations are also planned in case of suitable candidates. This project will allow direct comparisons between experiments, simulations and with theory for a better understanding of centrifugally driven instabilities in flows in rotating configurations, particularly in the transitional and turbulent regimes.
The project is a collaboration between Ramis Örlü (OsloMet and KTH), Philipp Schlatter (FAU Erlangen and KTH), and Rebecca Lingwood (KTH).

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

Parker Solar Probe allows for the first time sampling regions where significant solar wind acceleration is ongoing locally. The solar wind formation is a very dynamic process and the project plans to quantify the relative role played in it by localized dynamic structures such as switchbacks, current sheets, and flux ropes forming at close distances to the Sun. The project focuses on the regions around the critical Alfvén surface. In this important region, the solar wind goes from being sub-Alfvénic at smaller distances to being super-Alfvénic at larger distances.

Scientists and doctoral students at Space and Plasma Physics Division play an active role in many international and national space projects, including the building of instruments and analysis of data. At the division, we also do science within basic plasma physics, fusion research and industrial plasma physics applications.

Project description

In the not-so-far future, space missions will reach distant and unexplored Solar system regions. These space missions will rely on advanced space probes that act as experimental laboratories and continuously collect data and measurements, thus producing a large volume of data that must be analyzed in real-time before transmission to the ground, which is challenging. The Automatics in SpAce exPloration (ASAP) is an upcoming EU project that tackles said challenge by the development of intelligent algorithms for automatic operation in future space missions. Among the technologies that ASAP will rely on are Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs).

We are now seeking a Ph.D. student who will work on the ASAP project with a particular focus on creating specialized accelerators using FPGAs for future potential use aboard spacecraft. This project is funded by the European Commission, and the Ph.D. student will work on several aspects, including reconfigurable computing and AI/ML/brain-inspired computing. The student is expected to disseminate research results in top-tier international journals and conferences.

Doctoral student in Autonomous Anti-Drone Drones

School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at KTH

Project description

Recently, an increasing number of illegal drone missions have been flown over sensitive infrastructure in Sweden, such as nuclear power plants and airports. These missions are hard to stop or prevent, since drones are fast, small and can land anywhere. This project aims to develop solutions and algorithms for a system of anti-drone drones (ADDs) that are able to stop such intrusions, by detecting, localizing, following and when needed physically de-mobilizing the intruding drones.

These problems will be addressed using tools from areas such as control theory, reinforcement learning, game theory, AI and multi-agent coordination.

The position is financed by WASP, the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program

Doctoral student (licentiate) in Data-driven fluid and climate theory

School of Architecture and Built Environment at KTH

Project description

Third-cycle subject: Sustainable Buildings

This research project aims to realize faster-than-real-time (simulation time less than physical flow time) and high-resolution simulation of fluid flow in engineering applications, with indoor climate as a pilot. The expected outcome of this project is a static CNN for super-resolution to achieve fast prediction of steady-state indoor airflow, a hybrid RCNN for super-resolution to achieve faster-than-real-time prediction of transient indoor airflow, and standards for low-resolution input data by numerical simulation and experimental data. Besides the indoor flow simulations, this project would open a broad spectrum of engineering accurate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications, complementary to today’s standard application of RANS turbulence models.

The researchers in the team represent the KTH of Architecture and the Built Environment, Department of Civil and Architectural Engineering and KTH School of Engineering Sciences, Department of Engineering Mechanics.

Supervision: Associate Professor Wei Liu and Associate Professor Ricardo Vinuesa is proposed to supervise the doctoral student. Decisions are made on admission
