An opportunity is available for a PhD candidate to undertake a research project on a low emission ironmaking technology – the Electric Smelting Furnace (ESF), in collaboration with BlueScope Steel at the University of Wollongong (UOW). The project aims to develop and validate computational fluid dynamic models to simulate and better understand ESF operating conditions. Working within a team of UOW and industry investigators, the candidate will focus on advanced numerical modeling of multi-phase and multi-physics phenomena in the ESF, with opportunities for both industrial and academic experience and career development.
An exciting opportunity is now available for a PhD candidate to undertake a research project on a future, low-emission ironmaking technology – the Electric Smelting Furnace (ESF). Based at the University of Wollongong (UOW) in the School of Mechanical, Materials, Mechatronic and Biomedical Engineering, the project is one of several related collaborations with BlueScope Steel.
The specific research aim is to develop and validate computational fluid dynamic models to simulate and better understand operating conditions in the ESF. The research is part of the ESF program which includes complex physical experiments and numerical studies. The PhD candidate will work within a team of UOW investigators and their industrial partner investigators, and be trained to undertake high-quality, cutting-edge numerical modelling of multi-phase and multi-physics phenomena in the ESF.
There will be ample opportunity for the PhD candidate to work in both industrial and academic environments, and hence, develop industry-related project management skills. The professional training and personal development through this project and the university’s overall mentoring scheme, will help prepare the candidate for a career in academia or industry.
