Global PhD Partnerships KU Leuven-University of Melbourne: A joint experimental/numerical study of hydrogen combustion in reciprocating engines
Job Information
Offer description.
Hydrogen stands out as a promising fuel in our efforts for energy decarbonization, and its use is often discussed as a method to avoid carbon emissions from reciprocating engine applications. While this option has been considered in previous studies, there are still areas to explore before the technology can be deployed in a robust manner. The notion of directly-injected (DI) hydrogen is still quite nascent, and this offers the possibility to induce charge stratification, potentially avoiding abnormal combustion events. Hydrogen flames also behave quite differently to those of other fuels, as they are able to closely approach walls before extinguishing, impacting the temperature gradient and energy flux at chamber boundaries. A comprehensive characterization of such phenomena necessitates a combined approach of coupled experiments and simulations in order to adequately resolve the interconnected chemical and hydrodynamic processes occurring in the combustion chamber. The two students selected for this project will have a unique opportunity to undertake these activities not only within two complementary research groups, but also in two different countries (Belgium and Australia). Students will spend time at both KU Leuven and the University of Melbourne within the research groups of Asst. Prof. Joshua Lacey and A/Prof. Mohsen Talei. While the students will operate independently of one another, there are common elements between the students’ topics, creating opportunities for them to share understanding and knowledge between themselves and the respective research groups at each institution. Selected students should be prepared to conduct experiments as well as detailed numerical simulation.
Requirements

- A unique opportunity to work within two research groups at KU Leuven and the University of Melbourne.
