Target:

In this master’s thesis, a code to solve flamelet equations and to generate look-up tables for turbulent combustion simulation is aimed to be developed. Based on an existing code base, an adaptive numerical discretization scheme is to be implemented. Through the use of a machine learning library in Python, differentiable simulation capabilities are guaranteed and GPU utilization is enabled.

Tasks:

  • Literature study and familiarization with the unsteady flamelet/progress variable turbulent combustion model
  • Discretization of the equations and application of appropriate numerical schemes
  • Implementation of adaptive discretization
  • Preparation of the code to be GPU-ready
  • Testing and validation for different fuels against available data
  • Writing the master’s thesis

Starting date: As soon as possible

Duration: Approximately 6 months
