PhD Fellowship: Multiscale CFD for Mineral Flotation

CNRS; France; Sur place; EUR 21 000 - 26 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

The Earth Sciences Institute of Orléans (ISTO), CNRS, offers a 3-year PhD fellowship to investigate mineral recovery in flotation processes using Computational Fluid Dynamics. The position is located at ISTO in Orléans, France, and is part of the MINFLOT project funded by PEPR.

The successful candidate will develop a robust CFD framework for mechanically agitated flotation reactors, addressing multiphase flow and reactor design across scales in close collaboration with project partners.

Responsabilités

• Develop a robust, multiscale CFD framework for mechanically agitated flotation reactors.
• Investigate multiphase flow, bubble–particle interactions, and particle transport.
• Collaborate within the MINFLOT project to inform models for industrial flotation.
