This PhD scholarship at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Construct) is part of a collaboration between DTU and a private enterprise focused on experimental clearance flow research for ammonia and other sustainable marine fuels. The project uses an in-house designed high-pressure clearance flow test rig that reproduces pressure and temperature conditions similar to those in a marine engine booster pump. The successful PhD student will continue development of the ammonia flow rig, run test...

About this position

This PhD project at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) investigates experimental clearance flows involving ammonia and other sustainable marine fuels. Based in DTU Civil and Mechanical Engineering in Kgs. Lyngby, the research is carried out through a collaboration between DTU Construct and a private enterprise.

The PhD candidate will work with an in-house clearance-flow test rig designed to reproduce pressure and temperature conditions similar to those in a marine-engine booster pump. Experimental clearance-flow measurements will support the development and validation of accurate flow models.

A central part of the project is the continued development of a high-pressure ammonia flow rig. The researcher will conduct test campaigns using different ammonia pump components and establish theoretical and experimental foundations for ammonia-compatible sealing techniques. The work combines fluid mechanics, experimental methods, mechanical design, finite-element analysis, electronic data acquisition, laboratory programming and analysis of dynamic flow, pressure and geometric measurement data.

The research environment is DTU Civil and Mechanical Engineering, a multidisciplinary department working across fluid mechanics, coastal and maritime engineering, solid mechanics, materials technology, manufacturing engineering, engineering systems design and sustainability. The position offers an international technical-university environment with collaboration between academic researchers and industry.

Funding details

This is a full-time, three-year PhD scholarship appointment. Salary and appointment terms follow the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations; the advert directs applicants to DTU's salary structure for scientific staff for details. The starting date is 1 January 2027 or by mutual agreement.

What's required

Applicants must have a two-year master's degree worth 120 ECTS credits or an equivalent qualification at the same academic level. Significant experience is expected in safe handling of ammonia and other liquefied gases in test setups; electronic data acquisition and control-system design using PC Schematics; LabVIEW programming; mechanical design and FEM analysis using SolidWorks; statistical processing of large dynamic flow and pressure datasets in MATLAB; CMM measurement, preferably with Calypso Software; and three-dimensional processing of complex geometric CMM data from tested pump components. Applicants may apply before completing the master's degree but must obtain it before starting. The scholarship is subject to academic approval and enrolment in a DTU general PhD degree programme. Applications must be in English.

How to apply

Submit the complete online application through the advert's Apply now portal by 19 November 2026 at 23:59 Danish time. Upload one PDF in English containing a motivating letter, CV, grade transcripts, and BSc/MSc diploma with the official grading-scale description.
