Project aims at studying the interaction between electrical discharges and charges deposited on the surface of outdoor insulating materials by means of computer simulations. The goal is to understand the influence of deposited charges on the flashover characteristics of high voltage insulators. It appears in practice that a number of unexpected flashovers can be related to surface charging that create obstacles for further developments and applications of new outdoor insulation technology. The main outcome of the project will be new knowledge necessary for overcoming these obstacles and to facilitate a broader use of new insulator materials and new design principles through a better understanding of the surface charging phenomena involved.
The industrial PhD position is placed within a newly created organization, called High Voltage Valley in Ludvika, which is administrated by Samarkand2015 AB. The PhD student's academic affiliation will be coupled to the Department of Materials and Manufacturing Technology at Chalmers at the Graduated School in High Voltage Engineering. The project is to be performed in close co-operation with the ongoing experimental PhD project. It involves developing mathematical and computational models of electrical discharges in atmospheric air on surfaces of solid insulating materials, studying charge transport and relaxation processes on gas-solid interfaces, carrying out numerical simulations for specific experimental conditions and analyzing physical mechanisms of experimentally observed phenomena. The position covers initially 2.5 years long project leading to a degree of Technical Licentiate in Engineering. A successful fulfillment of this task will yield a possibility for an extension for another 2.5 years period with a PhD degree as goal. The project supervision is to be provided jointly by researchers from Chalmers and Uppsala University as well as from industry (ABB and STRI). The position is financed by the Elforsk's Elektra Program.
We look for you who have M.Sc. degree in Electric Engineering, Technical Physics, Computational Physics or in Materials Science with knowledge in numerical methods for solving PDEs and an experience in computer simulations. An ability to work in a team and to focus on both experimental and theoretical activities is a necessary prerequisite. A working knowledge of English (both speaking and writing) is also required.
More information can be obtained by contacting Professor Stanislaw Gubanski, tel +46 31 772 1616, e-mail: stanislaw.gubanski@chalmers.se
