MSc Thesis Work for: Acoustic simulation of ABB Dynafin blades

Construction, Engineering & Trades · Civil & Industrial Engineering · Mechanical Engineering

In short

This MSc thesis project at ABB Corporate Research in Västerås, Sweden, involves acoustic simulation of ABB Dynafin blades using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The goal is to model blade geometry's influence on hydrodynamic and cavitation-induced noise, aiming to optimize blades for noise reduction and understand their acoustic profile.

Responsibilities

Conduct a literature study on the acoustic profile of the system
CFD modelling of the system and simulations
Hydrodynamic noise and cavitation analysis during operation
Compare different blade designs and propose blade design recommendations

Requirements

Master of Science student in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a related field
Fluid mechanics experience
CFD expertise
Signal processing competence
Proficiency in written and spoken English

Desired Qualifications

Experience with simulation tools such as ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL, OpenFOAM, or similar are beneficial
Additional experience that is beneficial but not required: Marine propulsion, cavitation modelling, advanced skills in CFD meshing

Benefits

30 ECTS per student
Part of Materials Technology & Electromagnetics team at ABB Corporate Research
