What You Should Know About Us

Everllence enables its customers to achieve sustainable value creation in the transition towards a carbon neutral future. Addressing tomorrow’s challenges within the marine, energy and industrial sectors, we improve efficiency and performance at a systemic level. Leading the way in advanced engineering for more than 250 years, we provide a unique portfolio of technologies. Headquartered in Germany, Everllence employs some 15,000 people at over 120 sites globally. Our after-sales brand, Everllence PrimeServ, offers a vast network of service centres to our customers all over the world.

We can offer you the following tasks

• Familiarization with the fundamentals of radial compressor aerodynamics, in particular the function and design of compressor stator vanes
• Development or adaptation of numerical computational models for a highpressure radial compressor with stator vanes
• Execution of CFD simulations to evaluate the reference design with regard to efficiency, pressure recovery, mass flow, and compressor map behavior
• Analysis of the flow fields in the stator vane region with a focus on loss mechanisms, local flow separation, incidence effects, and secondary flows
• Parametric investigation of relevant stator vane geometry parameters, such as vane angle, vane count, profile shape, stagger angle, and inlet/outlet geometry
• Identification of suitable optimization approaches to reduce aerodynamic losses and improve pressure recovery
• Geometric modification and numerical evaluation of optimized stator vane variants using suitable CFD methods
• Comparison and assessment of the optimized geometries based on defined key performance indicators, such as efficiency, pressure ratio, pressure recovery, mass flow, and compressor map characteristics
• Evaluation, visualization, and interpretation of the simulation results
• Documentation and presentation of the results

You Can Help Us With These Qualifications

• Bachelor / Master Thesis in mechanical engineering or aerospace engineering or similar
• Knowledge in turbomachinery / fluid dynamics
• Experience with numerical fluid dynamics (CFD)
• Basic knowledge in Linux and scripting (Python, Bash or similar) beneficial

#AUG

Your professional home

Everllence headquarters in Augsburg were once the setting for the invention of the diesel engine, with which Rudolf Diesel declared war on the steam engine. Today, our primary mission is to overcome the challenges faced by the marine, energy and industrial sectors – not only to ensure our customers’ success, but also to preserve our environment. From small increases in the efficiency of individual components, such as dual-fuel engines, exhaust gas treatment systems or software solutions, to major innovations at system level – every day, around 5,000 employees work at our site in the beautiful renaissance city of Augsburg to create a better future. You too can help us do that. We are the employer for you if you want to make a difference.
