Job Summary
Core Responsibilities
1. Multi physics Modelling & Simulation
- Lead CFD simulations (ANSYS Fluent) for:
- CO₂ injection into wet particulate concrete systems
- multiphase flow (gassolidliquid)
- transient mixing and dispersion inside rotating mixers
- residence time and flow uniformity analysis
- Lead structural and thermal FEA (ANSYS Mechanical) for:
- high-pressure CO₂ piping and manifolds
- injection nozzles and reactor housings
- fatigue from cyclic batching and pulsed injection
- retrofit mounts brackets and load-bearing interfaces
2. Multi scale Modelling & UDF Development (Python-Driven)
- Develop and maintain User-Defined Functions (UDFs) to:
- implement non-standard boundary conditions
- model pulsed or staged CO₂ injection
- incorporate reaction-informed proxies from chemistry
- Use Python to:
- automate parametric studies
- run optimization loops
- batch simulations across design variants
- extract and compare simulation outputs quantitatively
