About this position
This fully funded PhD opportunity is based in the Okanagan Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory within the School of Engineering at the University of British Columbia Okanagan in Canada.
The project investigates the computational modelling of electrical-transformer thermal behaviour. The doctoral researcher will study overheating, cooling, thermal hotspots and waste-heat recovery, using computational fluid dynamics, mathematical modelling and numerical simulation to understand and improve transformer thermal performance.
The research combines fluid mechanics and heat transfer with computational methods. The project is being conducted in collaboration with BC Hydro, providing an applied energy-engineering context for modelling transformer operation and thermal management.
The researcher will work in the Okanagan Computational Fluid Dynamics Laboratory and may use tools and approaches including OpenFOAM and high-performance computing. The project is suited to candidates interested in thermal systems, CFD, energy infrastructure and advanced numerical analysis.
Funding details
The PhD is fully funded through a MITACS-funded project. No stipend amount or specific tuition and benefits coverage is stated.
What's required
Applicants should have strong skills in mathematical modelling, numerical simulation, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. Experience with computational fluid dynamics, OpenFOAM and high-performance computing is an asset. The post does not specify a required prior degree, GPA or language-test requirement.
