Posted on: May 19, 2023

Job Description:

Assignment Scope:
Upgrading combusing systems in gas turbines to handle high hydrogen fuel blends. Evaluate combustor designs with new burners via CFD. Depending on the analysis type various models needs to be simulated and calibrated with the lab data. The calibrated model will be used as a design tool to iterate on various concepts to downselect a design that meets product CTQ.

Locations:
Remote Arrangement Available (US Eastern Time Zone Preferred) or In Office Location Greenville, SC.

Responsibilities:
- Import and mesh the flowpath geometries based on solid models of the advanced axial fuel stage. Conduct mixing and reacting-flow simulations of the flowfields based on specified boundary conditions. Create flow visualization charts using streamlines and contours of relevant combustion aerodynamics parameters. Determine rate of fluid mixing and product composition, including the formation of pollutant species for university rig testing and propose design candidates that meet the program CTQs.
- Work on the combustor rig design and evaluate proper positioning of the axial fuel stage in addition to emission rakes and perform pre-test predictions for NOx and flame stabilization.

Requirements:
- 5+ years of relevant experience, including academic experience
- Computational fluid dynamics software such as FLUENT or similar industry standard packages
- Experience meshing 3-dimensional geometry for CFD analysis
- DOE Requirement: USA Born or Naturalized Citizenship
