FST Graduate Research Topic

Research Topic: Modeling Thermodynamic Turbulence with FLUENT
Suggested By: Larbi Esmahi
Last Update: January 27th, 2006

The project consists of implementing a model for fluid and thermodynamic simulations, an interaction interface, and a data import/export utility. The implementation will use the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software FLUENT (http://www.fluent.com/). The project is in collaboration with the section of Schlumberger Canada (http://www.slb.com/) located in the Edmonton Research Park. Qualifications: the successful candidate should have a good background in math programming, simulation and human computer interface. The student should be preferably located in the Edmonton area since he/she has to participate to the regular project meetings at the company site. Supervision: the project will be Co-supervised by Dr Esmahi from Athabasca University and Dr Zougari from Schlumberger Canada. Date/Duration: 5 to 7 months starting March 2006. Sponsoring: Schlumberger Canada is sponsoring the project and the student will receive some financial help to be negotiated depending on the committed time.
