Paid Diploma / Master's Thesis

**Simulation of wet particles' collisions (Gransys-CG Project)**
Ref.No DA146

To dedicated students of Chemical, or mechanical, Civil Engineering, Physics or related disciplines, we offer an opportunity to write a paid Diploma/Master’s thesis. The project is conducted in close cooperation with the Institute of Process and Particle Engineering, TU Graz.

**Objective**

Granular matter is extensively used in various industrial sectors. However, control and optimization of granulation systems pose significant challenges. This is since the mechanism of agglomeration and de-agglomeration is not well-understood. Therefore, in the GranSys-CG project, we focus on the fundamental investigation of wet particles interaction using multi-scale simulation approaches. In the framework of this project, we are hiring
several Master’s students to validate and verify our models which are mainly implemented in OpenFOAM.

**Qualifications**
- Strong interest in fluid mechanics, multiphase flow, computational fluid dynamic (CFD)
- First experience in programming with MATLAB®, as well as interest to expand your programming knowledge
- First experience in mathematical modelling and numerical simulation (e.g., with MATLAB®). First experience with the software OpenFOAM® is preferable, but not required.

**Withing the framework of this diploma / master’s thesis we offer the following**:

- Extensive participation in a top-level and industrially relevant research project in an international environment
- Supervised training in the task
- Assistance of experienced staff with the implementation of innovative ideas
- Perspective for future collaboration depending on the progress and qualification
- Adequate compensation and opportunities for personal and professional development

**Financing**
- Compensation on the basis of a service contract

If you are interested in writing your thesis at the interface between university research and industry/ business and to contribute to the optimization of product and process development in the pharmaceutical industry, please contact us indicating the reference number.
