Are you a Master’s student in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with a specialization in Computational Fluid Mechanics? Are you passionate about reduced order modeling and eager to apply your skills to real-world industrial challenges? If so, this internship opportunity might be the perfect fit for your graduation thesis project.BackgroundWithin the Mechanical Development cluster, we are developing advanced methods for system-level simulations aimed at reducing development time and minimizing the need for physical testing. These virtual testing environments integrate physics-based simulation engines with ASML software, with Reduced Order Models (ROMs) playing a central role. These models capture the essential behavior of machine components under complex, transient, and multi-physics conditions—such as flow induced vibrations or cooling of components using flow.Your assignmentFirst, an appropriate reduction technique for the fluid domain—relevant to the fluid regime—must be investigated. Subsequently, strategies for reducing the information exchange at the fluid-structure interfaces should be explored to enhance computational efficiency and coupling performance.Key activities include:
  • Identifying subsystem domains for fluid, solids and their interfaces.
  • Determining relevant physics, material models, and boundary conditions.
  • Create models in commercial packages (Ansys/COMSOL/StarCCM)
  • Parse mesh, material, boundary condition data to MATLAB.
  • Create ROM/s for fluid domain.
  • Create ROM/s for fluid-structure interfaces.
  • Propose a general and streamlined workflow for performing such analyses.
  • Document all steps and findings in a comprehensive report.
Your profileWe are looking for a candidate who:
  • Is pursuing a Master’s degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering (Applied Math/Physics are also encouraged to apply) with a focus on Computational Fluids Mechanics.
  • Has a solid understanding of continuum mechanics, particularly fluid-structure interactions.
  • Is proficient in classical numerical methods and linear algebra.
  • Has some experience with commercial simulation tools such as Ansys/COMSOL/StarCCM.
  • Is skilled in scripting and rapid prototyping using MATLAB.
  • Possesses strong communication, presentation, and technical writing skills.
This is a Master thesis internship for 6 to 9 months, starting as soon as possible.Other requirements you need to meet
  • You are enrolled at an educational institute for the entire duration of the internship;
  • You need to be located in the Netherlands to be able to perform your internship. In case you ‘re currently living/studying outside of the Netherlands, your CV/motivation letter includes the willingness to relocate.
  • If you are a non-EU citizen, studying in the Netherlands, your university is willing to sign the documents relevant for doing an internship (i.e., Nuffic agreement).
