Studentische Hilfskräfte - Wind inlet modelling in Kratos Multiphysics

25.09.2026, Student assistants, internships, student research projects

For the winter semester 2026/27, we are looking for a student assistant (HiWi) to support the implementation of wind inflow conditions in Kratos Multiphysics.

Background

Reliable CFD simulation of wind effects on structures requires a realistic representation of the incoming atmospheric boundary layer.

Your tasks

• Supporting the implementation and integration of a synthetic inflow turbulence generator
• Setting up and running verification cases
• Documenting the implementation
• Workload of 5 hours/week

You're a good fit if you enjoy

• Programming and working with open-source simulation code
• Working independently and in a structured way

What you bring

• Studies in Computational Mechanics, Computational Science and Engineering, Civil Engineering, or a related field
• Solid programming skills in Python and C++
• Basic knowledge of fluid mechanics and CFD; prior exposure to LES or turbulence modeling is beneficial
• Familiarity with Kratos is welcome but not required

What we offer

• Good compensation according to the standard TUM HiWi rates
• Flexible working hours and the possibility to work remotely
• Supervision within an active research group in wind engineering and computational mechanics
• The possibility to continue the topic later as a thesis

If you are interested, please send an email to anoop.kodakkal@tum.de with your CV and current transcript of records. We look forward to your application!
