Vacancy Reference No: NA02078
Salary: GBP 25,134 - 32,796
Limit of tenure: 2 (two) years
A post-doctoral position is available for candidates interested in the area of application of laser diagnostics to high pressure combustion, starting on or after 1 October 2007.
Aeroengine gas turbines face significant challenges to meet new targets for fuel economy and low emissions. In partnership with EPSRC and Rolls-Royce plc, Cambridge University has invested in a new high pressure combustion facility for the study of combustion in full-size aeroengine systems. The facility has been commissioned, and initial tests are being conducted on emissions and identification of flame structure for next generation liquid-fuelled injectors.
The work programme will involve applying laser diagnostic techniques, including PLIF (planar laser-induced fluorescence), LII (laser-induced incandescence), PIV (particle image velocimetry) and PDPA (phase doppler particle anemometry) under the very challenging conditions of the facility, which can operate up to 10 bar and 873 K. The results will be immediately relevant to industrial applications, and will serve as a platform for validation of CFD studies aiming to improve current understanding of the relationship between injector design and flame structure.
Requirements
The ideal candidate should hold a PhD in mechanical, chemical, aerospace or related discipline, with experience in laser imaging diagnostics. The post holder will be working with a research team including two support staff for the high pressure facility, within the realm of activities in the Cambridge Centre for Combustion Research. Cambridge has a long tradition of work in the area of combustion instabilities, a large (about 25 PhDs, 9 Post-docs) group in the overall area of combustion, and state of the art experimental facilities. The group is sponsored by various industrial and governmental partners, including Rolls-Royce, MHI and Shell.
