We seek to fill a postdoctoral position in the research group on Small-scale Dynamics in Turbulence led by Dr. Florencia Falkinhoff, in collaboration with Dr. Mohsen Bagheri and Prof. Dr. Eberhard Bodenschatz.
We are an international research institute conducting both experimental and theoretical fundamental scientific research and currently employs about 300 people. We are part of the Göttingen Campus, a collaboration between the university and non-university research institutions. The Laboratory for Fluid Physics, Pattern Formation and Biocomplexity (LFPB), headed by Prof. Dr. Eberhard Bodenschatz, fosters a stimulating international research environment on active complex systems ranging from Biophysics to Fluid Dynamics.
The research
Understanding the individual and relative motion of particles is fundamental to understanding transport processes in complex flows. Large-scale transport in atmospheric flows is well understood and measured by monitoring stations and satellite observations. However, our knowledge of smaller scales, such as those ranging from 100 m to 50 km, and the associated concentration fluctuations is limited. Consider, for example, the transport of particles or tracers originating from the ground, such as the release of gases or aerosols, smoke from a fire, or particles blown into the atmosphere. In this context, we are planning a field campaign in which we will release several balloons simultaneously to investigate how the atmospheric boundary layer affects particle transport. To accomplish this, the successful candidate will design, carry out, and analyze field measurements.
