Bachelor/Master thesis (f/m/x) - Reduced-order models for 3D wind fields across urban areas
Job Description
Req ID:  1983
Place of work:  Neubiberg
Starting date:  sofort
Career level:  Student research project and final thesis
Type of employment:  Part time
Duration of contract:  6 Monate

Remuneration: Remuneration is in accordance with the Collective Agreement for the Public Sector - Federal Government (TVöD-Bund)

Enter the fascinating world of the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e. V.; DLR) and help shape the future through research and innovation! We offer an exciting and inspiring working environment driven by the expertise and curiosity of our 11,000 employees from 100 nations and our unique infrastructure. Together, we develop sustainable technologies and thus contribute to finding solutions to global challenges. Would you like to join us in addressing this major future challenge? Then this is your place!

Since its foundation in 2019, the Institute for the Protection of Terrestrial Infrastructures has been dedicated to the protection and security of critical infrastructures on Earth. We develop concepts, processes and technologies that strengthen and improve the resilience of organisations and systems. In doing so, we focus on people, technology and the system as a whole.

 

What to expect
For the generation of digital twins and virtual replicas, the modeling of physical laws is crucial. When dealing with airborne contaminant transport across urban areas, a finite volume approach can be chosen for numerical modeling. However, such models are often not sufficient for real-world 3D simulations in time-critical applications. Model order reduction (MOR) techniques are employed to develop a reduced-order model that provides fast yet accurate results. 

 

The subject of this thesis is to develop a reduced model of a 3D flow simulation on a real-world domain that enables fast evaluations for different wind conditions.

 

Join our young team in the newly founded department "Simulation Methods for Digital Twins" at the Munich/Neubiberg site and look forward to a fulfilling job with an employer who appreciates your commitment and supports your personal and professional development.

 

Your tasks

•    evaluation of suitable MOR approaches for parametrized 3D flow simulations
•    improve offline and online performance e.g. by identifying advantageous sampling strategies and goal-oriented extraction of information from the ROM 
•    implementation of chosen methods in a Python software framework

 

Your profile
•    currently enrolled as a Master student or at the end of a Bachelor’s program in engineering, mathematics, computer science, physics or similar major
•    basic programming skills (ideally Python)
•    basic knowledge of German language is required

 

We offer

DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.

We look forward to getting to know you!
