Thesis: High-Pressure Nozzle Design for Spray Optimization

Scania Group; Södertälje kommun; On-site; SEK 240,000 - 300,000; Full time

Job summary

Scania is seeking a master's thesis student to run two- and three-fluid nozzle flow simulations and post-process results to study spray morphology. The project involves transferring results to a Lagrangian spray model and assessing combustion performance.

Work will be conducted in a Linux environment using AVL Fire 3D CFD with potential for exploring new geometries if time allows; expected start January 2027 for around five months.

Qualifications

• Masters degree in mechanical engineering or similar field.
• Specialisation in modelling and simulation is preferred.
• Interest in nozzle flow and spray morphology.

Responsibilities

• Run simulations on specified geometry and postprocess results.
• Adapt geometries if new ideas arise within time limits.
• Use AVL Fire 3D CFD in a Linux environment and script analysis tools.
