The Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering (MPE) at Aarhus University invites applications for a postdoc position offering applicants an exciting opportunity to join the “Fluid Mechanics and Turbulence” group and conduct research on data-driven techniques for turbulence modeling in LES and RANS. The initial contract will be for one year, with the possibility of an additional one-year extension.

The project is fully funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF). The main objective of this project is to develop physics-constrained, data-driven turbulence models for numerical simulations of turbulent flows. Data from DNS, wall-resolved LES, and experiments will be used to train and validate models applicable to wall-modeled LES and RANS. From an application perspective, the developed models will be deployed in realistic scenarios, including turbulent flows over complex terrain, within built environments, and in wind farms. The project integrates fundamental applied mathematics with practical CFD applications.

You will be a member of the “Fluid Mechanics and Turbulence” research group at the Department of Mechanical and Production Engineering (MPE).  The research group specializes in the modeling and simulation of turbulent flows and transport phenomena, with a particular emphasis on applications in energy systems.
