I am seeking to hire a postdoc in the area of coupled discrete-continuum modeling. The position is expected to start on 11/01/2019. Applicants who have experience with Itasca software (specifically, FLAC and PFC) are strongly encouraged to apply.
A graduate research position is now available at George Mason University for research in fluid mechanics.
We seek to modify turbulent flows by targeting drag reducing hairpin vortices using micro-particles carrying polymers.
Preference will be given to students with an M.S. in mechanical engineering or related fields (e.g. aerospace engineering, physics, mathematics).
A strong background in fluid mechanics, applied mathematics, and numerical methods is preferred. In addition, fluency in FORTRAN is highly desired.
There is ample evidence of ThermoElastic Instabilities (TEI) occurring in sliding contacts. The very first experiments of JR Barber in 1969 suggested wear interacts in the process of localization of contact into ”hot spots”. However, studies on the interaction of TEI with wear are scarce. We consider the case of two sliding halfspaces and make a perturbation analysis permitting the formation of waves migrating over the two bodies, in presence of wear. We find that for exactly identical bodies wear does not affect the stability boundary.
We have an opening for a postdoctoral position to conduct computational geomechanics research on landslides and debris flow. The researcher will be jointly supervised by Dr. Jinhyun Choo and Dr. Clarence E. Choi in the Department of Civil Engineering of The University of Hong Kong (HKU). The ideal candidate will have solid backgrounds in geomechanics, poromechanics, numerical methods, and scientific computing.
There are two PhD positions at RAD Lab in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at New
Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). The focus of the research will be on creating novel computational
and theoretical models for the dynamics of complex fluids with particular emphasis on particle-laden multiphase flows and biological flows of active matter in the living systems.
Applicants are expected to have an earned B.S. or M.S. degree in mechanical engineering, biomedical
A nice seminar, here.
