Master Thesis: Numerical and Experimental Analysis for the Optimization of a Drag Body (m/w/d)

ATLAS ELEKTRONIK is a company of thyssenkrupp AG and stands for maritime safety. For decades, as a leading system house for maritime electronics marines around the world, we have been helping to make the lake safer. We offer a wide range of services to our customers including Sonars and Sensors, Guide Systems for Unmanned Underwater Vehicles, Submarines and Overwater Ships, Mine Defense Systems and Radio and Communication Systems.

Modeling and Simulation: Introducing and expanding existing simulation models (CFD and rigid body dynamics) to describe the towing body. Analysis of drag behaviour: Systematic investigation of drag behaviour under different environmental conditions. Experimental validation: planning, implementation and evaluation of model tests to check the simulation results. Optimization: Development and implementation of optimization concepts based on the findings. Documentation of results: Recording and presentation of the research work within the framework of the master thesis.

You complete a technical study, such as mechanical engineering, shipbuilding, marine engineering, aerospace technology, physics or a comparable field of expertise. You have extensive knowledge in the areas of rigid body simulation (mechanics) and flow simulation (CFD). First experiences with model tests complete your profile. Your efficient and structured way of working is excellent. You combine analytical thinking with the ability to capture complex technical facts. You are motivated to actively shape the student lab in an interdisciplinary environment.

Through the A-LAB, ATLAS ELEKTRONIK offers doctoral students and students the opportunity to work in an agile environment with an interdisciplinary team on scientific topics with high application relevance. As part of your doctorate, you will get the opportunity to work together with students on your scientific topic. The doctoral program of the ATLAS ELEKTRONIK supports you both technically, professionally and with expertise in the doctoral procedure with a respective university to be determined.
