Master's Thesis - Investigation of Pool Evaporation Using Flow Simulation (m/f/d)

WELCOME TO BASF
We are a leading global research organization with over 3000 employees working in the field of material and analytical science, chemical synthesis, process development, bioscience, catalysis and digitalization. With our creative and diverse teams as well as our cutting-edge research, we help to make our customers more successful and drive the sustainability transformation.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Would you like to deepen your theoretical knowledge in CFD modeling and gain valuable practical experience? Our team, which specializes in the engineering aspects of process and plant safety, is looking for dedicated students for an internship with the option to pursue a subsequent thesis. Take this opportunity to become part of a globally connected team and contribute to an exciting project with a scientific focus.

* You will model mass transfer from a free liquid surface into an atmospheric boundary layer using the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software FLACS.
* Additionally, you will quantify the relevant influencing factors on mass transport through a parameter study. This includes developing a suitable simulation setup, validating it against experimental data, and creating a simulation plan for optimized execution of the study.
* You will automate the workflow and evaluation using the Python API in FLACS.
* Finally, you will assess various mass transfer correlations from the literature, taking into account the results of the parameter study.

WHAT YOU OFFER
* excellent knowledge in process engineering modeling with CFD, as well as in heat and mass transfer
* solid experience in data processing and process automation using Python
* confident use of AI-based assistants such as GitHub Copilot
* strong problem-solving skills and a structured, independent working style
* confident communication in international teams in both German and English

WHAT WE OFFER
* Practical phase - actively apply theory in challenging and varied tasks/projects
* Teambuddy - contact person for all questions and regular feedback
* Networks - get to know different perspectives, ways of thinking and fields of work
* Internship compensation - a recognition of the commitment, more information here
* Flexible working hours - depending on the location and area of work
