Check out our YouTube channel:    https://www.youtube.com/@PrattWhitneyCa Our website:   https://www.pwc.ca/en Why join our team?   Combustion Aerothermal Systems is one of the Combustion module departments within the Turbomachinery organization. The department is responsible for design and validation of the combustion section of turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines. The aerothermal design process uses various numerical tools, including CFD simulations, with validation testing in rigs and engines. This internship will focus on CFD prediction and validation of the NOx emissions created by the combustion process in a gas turbine engine. What will your day-to-day look like? Prepare combustion chamber geometry using ANSYS CAD tools Mesh geometry using ANSYS meshing tools Review of NOx prediction models available in open literature and comparison to the models implemented in ANSYS Fluent Perform combustion CFD simulations in ANSYS Fluent with primary focus on the prediction of the NOx created by the combustion process Review combustor NOx data measured on engines to understand key variables and the measurement details Perform CFD simulations with the NOx models available in ANSYS Fluent and compare the predictions to engine data Implement a new NOx model obtained from the literature survey in ANSYS Fluent Summarize and present findings Document the findings in a report What You Will Learn Gas turbine engine combustion system components and function Gaseous emissions CFD improvement and validation process Pratt & Whitney Canada's engine portfolio Teamwork & group dynamics What do you need to be successful?   Be eligible to work in Canada. Be enrolled in a Canadian university throughout your internship. Be able to work on-site in the province where you are hired if applicable.
