Job Summary:
We seek a creative, self-motivated postdoctoral researcher to develop models for multiphase fluid flow, requiring experience in first-principle and numerical modelling approaches. The role involves collaboration with experimentalists and domain experts, working effectively within a multidisciplinary team, and engaging with business and engineering teams to ensure impactful solutions.
Responsibilities:
1. Model multiphase fluid flow (gas, liquid, and solid physics).
2. Collaborate with experimentalists and domain experts to build, validate, and match models to experimental or field data.
3. Engage with the SLB technical community.
4. Develop innovative solutions to research and engineering problems and communicate them effectively to teams and management.
5. Publish scientific papers, write patent applications, and attend conferences.
Qualifications:
1. PhD in Fluid Mechanics, Mechanical or Chemical Engineering, or related fields.
2. Expertise in first-principle modelling approaches to Multiphase Flow Dynamics.
3. Experience with multi-physics CFD modelling of multiphase flows (Ansys, OpenFoam, COMSOL).
4. Programming experience is highly desirable.
5. Experience in building and validating reduced-order models from high-fidelity simulations is highly desirable.
6. Knowledge of mechanical systems modelling and fatigue analysis.
7. Understanding of production systems is desirable.
8. Relevant publications in peer-reviewed journals are desirable.
