The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) CTA covers high performance computations whose goal is the accurate numerical solution of the equations describing fluid and gas motion and the related use of digital computers in fluid-dynamics research. CFD is used for basic studies of fluid dynamics for engineering design of complex flow systems, for modeling flow and transport in porous media, coastal hydrology, shallow-water flows, free surface flows and fluid-structure interactions at low to moderate Reynolds number. It is also used to interpret and analyze experimental data and to extrapolate into regimes that are inaccessible or costly to study. Work in the CFD CTA encompasses all velocity flow regimes and scales of interest to the DoD. Incompressible flows are generally slow, e.g., governing the dynamics of submarines, slow airplanes, pipe flows, and air circulation. Compressible flows are important at higher speeds, e.g., controlling the behavior of transonic and supersonic planes, missiles, and projectiles. Fluid dynamics itself displays some very complex physics, such as boundary-layer flows, transition to turbulence, and turbulence dynamics that require continued scientific research. CFD also must incorporate additional complex physics to adequately model many real world problems. These effects include changes of phase, changes of chemical composition, and interactions among multiple phases in heterogeneous flows. Some relevant examples of these physical complexities include large geographic scales, wind driven free surfaces, sediement laden flows, and non homogenous fluids. CFD has no restrictions on the geometry and includes motion and deformation of solid boundaries defining the flow.

Experience (Skills sought): Experience in coordinating technical/scientific resources, experience in preparing scientific and technical reports at both the detailed and the management level, using a collaborative style to achieve consensus. HPC and parallel programming experience, various programming languages (Fortran, C/C++, perl script, Linux, Python), some visualization skills, and the ability to work well with people. Experience with groundwater modeling, coupled surface-groundwater models, coastal circulation, storm surge modeling, free-surface modeling and fluid-structure interaction with application to flows in channels, locks, and other hydraulic structures is desired.

Education/Experience: MS + 5 years of HPC-related experience in engineering, physics or computer science. PhD is desired
