Our expectations:

Combustion Aerothermal Systems is one of the Combustion module departments within the Turbomachinery organization. The department is responsible for design and validation of the combustion section of turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines. The aerothermal design process uses various numerical tools, including CFD simulations, with validation testing in rigs and engines. This internship will focus on improving the combustion CFD prediction process by evaluating and implementing improvements to batch meshing using PyFluent, parameterization and mesh optimization. Some preliminary evaluation of the impact of the mesh on NOx emissions predictions will also be explored.

The Combustion Aero/Thermal Analyst intern will have the following key responsibilities:

Use ANSYS Fluent Mesher to generate mesh then run combustion CFD simulationsEstablish a methodology for automatic meshing using PyFluentDevelop mesh Parameterization and Optimization guidelinesInvestigate the impact of the mesh characteristics on emissions prediction with primary focus on NOxSummarize and present findingsDocument the findings in reports

What your day to day will look like:

Generate, review and test CFD models/methodologies to develop guidelines as to the impact of mesh characteristics on predicted resultsSummarize and present findings to peersSupport improvement of the current CFD process

What you need to be successful:

Must haves:

Be eligible to work in CanadaBe enrolled in a Canadian university throughout your internshipBe able to work on-site in the province where you are hiredPursuing a Master or PhD degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical Engineering or Physics Engineering Good oral and written communication skills in English (spoken/written). French is an asset. Ability to work independently as well as in a team.Solid understanding of Fluid mechanics, Thermodynamics and Heat transferExposure to combustion CFDProficiency in ANSYS CAD tools (SpeceClaim , Design Modeller and Discovery)Proficiency in ANSYS mesh generators (Fluent mesher and/or ANSYS Workbench mesher)Basic understanding of programming language (C/C++, Python, MATLAB)

Assets:

Organizational skills and ability to work under pressure with competing and varying prioritiesProject management skills
