The Department of Mechanical Engineering at The Johns Hopkins University announces the availability of a postdoctoral position in the area of experimental fluid mechanics, starting in the spring of 2009. The objective of the research is to measure and model the impact of introducing bubbles into a turbulent flow on vibrations of an elastic plate that come into contact with this flow. This project examines how the properties of the bubbly medium, associated noise sources and modifications to the flow affect the wall pressure fluctuations and plate vibrations, including excitation of its resonances. Near future effort will involve also development of novel techniques for global measurements of plate deformation. A Ph.D. degree and background in fluid mechanics, particularly in experimental research is required. Prior experience in optical measurement techniques and/or in multiphase flows as well as noise and vibrations is desirable.
Questions on the available positions can be addressed either to Prof. J. Katz at katz@jhu.edu. Interested applicants are invited to submit a detailed resume, including an updated list of publications (along with a sample of a couple of these publications) and a list of references to:
Experimental Fluids Postdoc Department of Mechanical Engineering The Johns Hopkins University 3400 N. Charles Street Baltimore, MD 21218
