Topic of doctoral theses

Optimization of Turbocharger Mechanical Efficiency

Supervisor: prof. Ing. Pavel Novotný, Ph.D.
Description:
The dissertation aim is a development of algorithms and procedures suitable for design and operating parameters of turbochargers to decrease mechanical losses. Activities include a description of mechanical loss energy generation during rotor movement, a development of optimisation algorithms and an application of methods to real turbochargers. It is expected a deep utilisation of programming languages (Python, Matlab, Fortran or C++) and commercial softwares (CFX, ANSYS). The results will be verified by the technical experiments on specialized experimental test benches. The work is supported by Garrett Advancing Motion and PBS Turbo. A cooperation with the industrial partner and an application of the results of work are expected. The long-term internship abroad at the world's research institutions, participations in international conferences and scientific journals are planned during the study. The study will be supported by an employment contract financially comparable to the industry contracts. More information can be found here: http://www.iae.fme.vutbr.cz/studium-doktorske
