Physics-informed data-driven models to characterise the effect of surface defects on flow boiling phenomena

在这个项目中，你将成为下一代沸腾模型的先驱，并应用计算流体动力学（CFD）模拟来开发核反应堆沸腾的数据驱动分析。了解沸腾过程对水冷核反应堆的设计和运行至关重要，水冷核反应堆依靠沸腾来获得运行所需的高表面热通量。现代的、基础的CFD技术使我们能够预测液-气界面的行为（“界面捕获”），并直接模拟固体表面的沸腾现象。

In this project, you will pioneer the next generation of models of boiling, and apply Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation to develop data-driven analyses of boiling in nuclear reactors.Understanding the boiling process is crucial for the design and operation of water-cooled nuclear reactors, which rely on boiling to achieve high surface heat fluxes required for their operation. Modern, fundamental CFD techniques allow us to predict the behaviour of liquid-vapour interfaces ("Interface Capturing") and to simulate directly boiling phenomena at a solid surface.
