About BSC
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads largescale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 800 staff from 55 countries.

We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research.
Context And Mission
The use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for air pollution simulation in urban areas has seen rapid growth in the past years. One of the advantages of CFD is that it can provide extensive data on the primary variables (velocity components, pressure, contaminant concentration, etc.) in the whole domain in a controlled scenario enabling systematic parametric studies. However, the accuracy and reliability of CFD simulations are of concern and solution verification, and validation studies are imperative. Thus, the main role of the current CFD tools available is to complement onsite measurements. The main bottlenecks are the boundary conditions and the empiricism used in the CFD models.
In the APPWIND project, BSC can provide two key ingredients to enable scaleresolving CFD to assess air pollution in urban areas at the microscale level.
Key Duties
To develop scaleresolving air pollution solvers based on the multiphysics Alya software
To develop a novel data assimilation methodology to integrate onsite pollution and air measurements with climatological data into the CFD solver
To give support to the APPWIND project including the experimental campaign
To participate in the rest of the CFD activities of the LS/CFD team in CASE

Requirements:

Education
PhD in computational fluid dynamics

Experience in CFD development ( at least 3 years)
Knowledge in large eddy simulation models ( at least 3 years)
Experience in largescale simulation at high speed (wall models for LES, complex mesh generation, industrial simulations, etc. ) ( at least 3 years)
Understanding of HPC clusters at user level and experience programming MPI ( at least 3 years).
Good programming level (python, C, Fortran, C++, etc.) ( at least 4 years)
Additional Knowledge and Professional Experience
