Topic of doctoral theses

Propagation of reaction fronts in solid fuel combustion

Supervisor: doc. Ing. Jiří Hájek, Ph.D.
Specialist: Ing. Tomáš Juřena, Ph.D.
Description:
The purpose of the thesis is to involve the student in the development of in-house simulation models, within the framework of a starting grant project. The production of energy from biomass, fossil fuels and waste often uses traditional and proven grid combustion technology. Increasing pressure to reduce emissions also forces manufacturers to look for new technical solutions to increase their competitiveness. The key to innovation and increased prestige of manufacturers are computational simulations, however, models for this technology are still developing. The doctoral student will work on the following tasks: • Creating a CFD model using ANSYS software • Model of macroscopic fuel structure • Description of macroscopic fuel structure development on moving grate • Description of the interaction of the macroscopic structure with the combustion process Interesting salary, support of an experienced team with a friendly atmosphere and cooperation with industrial partners are prepared for the applicants. The candidates should have experience with computational fluid dynamics (CFD), be motivated to work in research, and be able to quickly orient themselves in new issues (good prior learning outcomes).
