MS THESES INTERNSHIPS
IN COMBUSTION SCIENCE
The Clean Combustion Research Center (CCRC) at King Abdullah University of Science and
Technology (KAUST) has several internship projects available in the areas of experimental
and numerical combustion and thermal fluid systems. All projects have a minimum 6 month
duration. The MS student will participate in research activities in close collaboration with
faculty, postdocs and senior PhD students. Ongoing projects include:
Soot formation in flames
Smoke point and soot measurements in counterflow and co-flow flames at
high pressure (Profs. Roberts & Chung, EXP); design, characterization and
testing of extractive soot sampling apparatus for high pressure flames
(Profs. Roberts & Chung, EXP); analysis & modeling of soot formation in
turbulent flames via massive direct numerical simulation databases (Prof.
Bisetti, NUM).
Fuel kinetics & combustion emissions
Development of spectroscopic detection methods for greenhouse gases
(Prof. Farooq, EXP); characterization of ignition properties of heptane
isomers in shock tubes (Prof. Farooq, EXP); development of detailed and
reduced chemical kinetic combustion models for biofuels and alternative
fuels (Prof. Sarathy, NUM).
Flame structure and dynamics
Investigation of lifted tribrachial n-heptane flames (Profs. Bisetti & Sarathy,
NUM); auto-ignition characteristics in spark-assisted compression ignition
(SACI) combustion (Prof. Im, NUM); stability of flame propagation within a
narrow channel for meso- and micro-combustor applications (Prof. Im, NUM).
Numerical methods for thermal/fluids systems
Advanced tabulation techniques for large-eddy simulation of turbulent
combustion (Prof. Bisetti, NUM); immersed boundary method for solid
boundary representation in reactive flows (Prof. Im, NUM).
CCRC Visiting Student Fellowships are
available to support participating
students. The fellowships provide a
monthly stipend and are awarded on a
merit basis.
Please inquire about the CCRC Visiting
Student Fellowship details and
application process with Ms. Claire
Morris (claire.morris@kaust.edu.sa).
Students interested in applying should
contact Prof. Fabrizio Bisetti
(fabrizio.bisetti@kaust.edu.sa) at
KAUST and Prof. Mauro Valorani
(mauro.valorani@uniroma1.it) at
La Sapienza University. Please contact
individual CCRC faculty members for
information about specific projects.
