SUMMARY OF THE ROLE
As the CFD Expert you will contribute to understanding the skin-friction drag in a turbulent flow around a ship. You will work together with an experimental hydrodynamicist and surface scientist to ensure focused research efforts. This includes identifying respective surface properties using computational fluid dynamics on different scales and upscaling experimental results to full ship scale. You will furthermore support experimental validation. You will also contribute to cross-functional R&D projects, developing such surfaces on a large scale, to ensure that the potential of the surface effects is realized in the most efficient way.
You will contribute professionally, internally and externally as CFD expert and support hydrodynamic challenges, ensuring the overall goals of the R&D department are achieved. This position will be part of an interdisciplinary team with the main objective to identify and develop low friction surface solutions for ship owners, le...
