Research Assistant - salary grade E13 TV-L Berliner Hochschulen

As part of the DFG-funded project "Analysis and Modeling of Radial Heat Transfer Mechanisms in Packed-Bed Reactors for Process lntensification," the development and application of high-resolution methods for simulating transport phenomena in packed-bed reactors with small tube-to-particle diameter ratios are being investigated. This includes the development, implementation, and validation of CFD simulations to perform a detailed analysis of heat, mass, and fluid transport in such reactors. A central focus of the work is on advancing simulation techniques - such as optimizing mesh generation algorithms for packed beds with complex particle geometries - as well as identifying and quantifying the governing transport mechanisms. Moreover, research data management and data science methods are of key importance for efficiently collecting, evaluating, and utilizing the data generated in the project.
