Fluid Mechanics for Industrial Applications – From Simulation to Validation
University
FH Münster University of Applied Sciences
Fields
Electrical Engineering
Mechanical Engineering
Duration
4-6 months
Deadline
February 15 for fall internship
October 1 for spring internship
Supervisor
Prof. Dr.-Ing. S. Annas
Project description
Connect the digital and the real worlds of fluid mechanics! As part of our team, you will dive into current and practical research topics. Our key areas—such as industrial drying systems, innovative waste separation techniques, or the optimization of stirring systems—provide the perfect playground to merge theory with hands-on practice.
Whether you want to take your first steps into the fascinating world of simulation (CFD) or deepen your existing knowledge within our expert group, we offer you the chance to tackle concrete technical challenges and actively shape the entire development process, from the initial simulation to the final experimental validation.
Tasks
CFD Simulation: Design 3D models, generate computational meshes, run fluid dynamics simulations for current research projects.
Lab Experiments: Plan, build, and run experiments in our fluid dynamics lab to capture real-world data.
Analysis & Validation: Evaluate and visualize findings, comparing simulation results
with experimental data to validate and improve our models.
Requirements
You should be interested in physics, mathematics and fluid mechanics and you should be familiar with computer handling. Experiences in Excel, mathcad or comparable software are not necessarily required, but may help in your work.
Languages
No German skills are required. Anyway, you have the possibility to take a first look into the German language.
Possible beginnings
September/October for fall internship
March for spring internship
Earlier/later beginnings may be possible depending on professor's availability
Credits
Credits can be achieved in consultation with the home university
