KNIPPING NEW MOBILITY is a rapidly growing business unit which is currently looking to further develop it‘s CFD simulation capacity and know-how. Therefore, we are looking to fill the role of a master student who will be responsible for the CFD simulation of a fuel cell humidifier within an internship or the master thesis.

Main Tasks:

• Working together with our design team to optimise the geometry
• Meshing of the finalised geometry
• Defining the boundary conditions of the simulation together with the system development team
• Further developing a KNIPPING CFD simulation method to simulate heat and mass trans fer through state-of-art membranes used in humidifiers. This will include the following:
  o Flow through porous regions (similar to the GDL in a fuel cell)
  o Multi-phase flow with evaporation and condensation
• Carrying out the simulation and analysing the results
• Identifying how the design can be improved and giving this feedback to our design team

Your Profile:

• Currently doing a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Process Engineering or in a comparable subject
• A very good understanding of fluid and thermodynamics
• Experience of CFD Simulation software such as Star-CCM, Ansys Fluent or Openfoam
• Knowledge of meshing software (Ansys Meshing, Ansa)A
• Ability to breakdown a complex problem and to define steps to solve it
• Being able to work independently and pro-actively but also to be able communicate efficiently and accurately with other team members and teams
