The University was founded in 2003 and counts more than 6,700 students and more than 2,000 employees from around the world. The University’s faculties and interdisciplinary centres focus on research in the areas of Computer Science and ICT Security, Materials Science, European and International Law, Finance and Financial Innovation, Education, Contemporary and Digital History. In addition, the University focuses on cross-disciplinary research in the areas of Data Modelling and Simulation as well as Health and System Biomedicine. Times Higher Education ranks the University of Luxembourg #3 worldwide for its “international outlook,” #20 in the Young University Ranking 2021 and among the top 250 universities worldwide.

**The Faculty of Science, Technology and Medicine** (FSTM) contributes multidisciplinary expertise in the fields of **Mathematics**, **Physics**, **Engineering**, **Computer Science**, **Life Sciences** and **Medicine**. Through its dual mission of teaching and research, the FSTM seeks to generate and disseminate knowledge and train new generations of responsible citizens, in order to better understand, explain and advance society and environment we live in.

**Your Role...**:
In cooperation with international partner organizations the research team Applied Thermodynamics of the University of Luxembourg is developing Multiphase Fluid Dynamic Tools and Methods. Lattice Boltzmann is a method for numerical simulation of flows based on a discrete grid describing the flow properties by probability distributions. Multiphase Lattice Boltzmann allows modeling of flows where multiple fluids or phases are present simultaneously, such as gas-liquid mixtures or multicomponent flows. It is a powerful method to study complex flow phenomena.
- Development of Python based Lattice Boltzmann Multiphase Code to simulate Multiphase Fluid Dynamic Problems
- Run calculations and validate the results
- Disseminate results through scientific publications and talks at conferences
- Support for teaching programs

**What we expect from you**:

- Master degree in mechanical-, process engineering, physics or informatics.
- Experience in Fluid Dynamics
