Postdoctoral research associate in CFD Simulation with lattice Boltzmann method

feitian2001

Dr. Lai, C K Alvin group at City University of Hong Kong is seeking outstanding candidates for a postdoctoral /senior research associate position in computational fluid mechanics.   

The position is funded by the National Science Foundation of China for new developments of technologies in aerosol and is available from Spring 2014. The project aims at investigating the effects of V-shaped riblets and electrostatic field on deposition of ultrafine particles (UFPs) in ventilation duct numerically and experimentally.

The applicant must have previous knowledge and programming techniques in lattice Boltzmann approach which is very important for this project.

The postdoctoral /senior research associate will work on the following topics:
(1) Numerical simulation of airflow over riblet-covered surface in ventilation duct.
(2) Numerical simulation of dispersion and deposition of UFPs in ventilation duct under the influence of riblet and electrostatic field.

We expect the applicant:

(1) fluent in CFD modeling with lattice Boltzmann method;  
(2) has received (is going to receive) a PhD in building engineering, environmental engineering , mechanical engineering, or related fields;
(3) has advanced knowledge of fluid mechanics;  
(4) has good experience in code development with C++;
(5) knowledge of aerosol science is a plus.  

To apply, please send a letter describing your PhD work and a CV to Dr. Lai
alvinlai@cityu.edu.hk. You can also contact Dr. Lai at this email for further
questions.
