Ghent University in Belgium is recruiting a motivated PhD student for a fully funded research position in multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The position is supported by Associate Professor Yi Ouyang's ERC Starting Grant e-CAPTURE. The project focuses on multiphase CFD for electrified vortex reactors, combining fluid dynamics, heat and mass transfer, chemical reactions, and Joule heating. The research is closely connected to chemical engineering, process intensification, reactor engi...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in Electrifying Chemical Reactors for Net Zero , focusing on the coupled dynamics of flow, heat transfer, particle motion, electrical conduction, and reactor performance . This project investigates directly electrified particle and fluidised-bed reactors, where conductive particles generate heat through Joule heating while being mixed by a flowing gas. The research aims to build a predictive understanding of how particle-scale behaviour shapes rea...
