Doctoral Researcher (f/m/d – 75 %)
for the CRC 1173 Project “Mixing and resonances in magnetic fluids”
The Collaborative Research Center “Wave phenomena – analysis and numerics” (CRC 1173), of the Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) is currently seeking to recruit, as soon as possible, limited to three years a doctoral Researcher (f/m/d – 75 %).
Stability and the asymptotic behavior are central questions in the study of fluid dynamics and partial differential equations. Here in particular mixing effects have become a prominent field of research. On the one hand, mixing effects introduce very fine scales which pose major challenges for the modeling and stability analysis. On the other hand, these rapid oscillations also lead to cancellation and homogenization which has a stabilizing effect on the velocity field of a fluid — a phenomenon which is known as inviscid damping. Building on results for the Euler and the Vlasov-Poisson equations, a main objective of the project “Mixing and resonances in magnetic fluids” will be to extend these results to include magnetic interactions in fluids
