PhD student, Direct Injection Gasoline Engines
One possibility to improve engine efficiency for gasoline engines is to apply direct injection and stratified charge operation using advanced injectors.
The project is mainly numerical, where models of different physical processes in the engine will be developed, validated, combined, and implemented into a commercial CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) code in order to investigate mixture formation, combustion, and emissions formation for different fuels (gasoline, ethanol, methanol, and butanol including mixtures between them).
Details about the employment:
The PhD student education lasts for five years and will normally include 20 percent departmental work, mostly teaching duties. The salary for the positions are specified in Chalmers’ general agreement for PhD student positions.
