Noordwijk
Our team and mission
This position is based at the European Space Research and Technology Centre (ESTEC) - Noordwijk, Netherlands
Under the direct authority of the Mechanical Department, the Propulsion and Aerothermodynamics Division is responsible for the technical and strategic management of all areas related to chemical, electric and advanced propulsion, and aerothermodynamics analysis and verification.
In particular the division is in charge of:
In preparation for upcoming lander missions (Argonaut, ExoMars Rosalind Franklin Mission), there is the need for improved understanding and modelling of plume-surface interaction, particularly to assess potential impacts on the spacecraft of regolith/dust particles and rocks ejected from the impinged soil. Depending on the plume and soil properties, large craters can form underneath the landing spacecraft which could alter the plume-surface interaction and the resulting liberated particle trajectories and impacts.
The internship will look at defining a parametric model of a landing spacecraft, including parametrised crater shapes, to enable semi-automatic creation of computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulation set-ups. A large sensitivity study will then be performed using these CFD simulations to assess particle impacts and contamination potential under various landing conditions.
Education
You must have student status and be enrolled at university for the entire duration of the internship. You should preferably be in your final or second to last year of a university course at master's level in a technical or scientific discipline.
Additional requirements
The working languages of the Agency are English and French. A good knowledge of one of these is required. Knowledge of another Member State language would be an asset.
Additional Requirements:
If you require support with your application due to a disability, please email .
