Siemens Energy

As part of the aeromechanics group, you will explore the design of vibration-free axial transonic compressor blades optimized for performance under diverse operating conditions and complex aerodynamic demands. In this master’s thesis, you will investigate how multiple geometric parameters can be optimized to enhance aerodynamic damping and increase the margin against flutter instability in axial transonic compressors.

Through advanced numerical simulations, including CFD and FEM analyses, you will evaluate the aerodynamic damping and performance of various blade geometries. The results of this study will provide valuable insights into the relationship between blade geometry, mode shapes, and aerodynamic damping, laying the groundwork for optimization-driven design and future innovations in compressor technology.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• You will conduct a thorough literature review to explore design-based geometry variations that enhance aeroelastic stability in turbomachinery blades.
• Identify and analyze key geometric parameters that influence aeroelastic behavior, systematically introducing variations into the rotor blade design tool chain.
• Develop and utilize CFD and FEM models to numerically estimate aerodynamic damping and assess the stability of blade designs.
• Perform a parametric study to evaluate the impact of geometry variations on both aeroelastic stability and aerodynamic performance.
• Analyze simulation data to document key trends and findings, preparing a comprehensive technical report and presentation to share your insights.

What You Bring

• You are an M.Sc. student in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, engineering physics, or a related field.
• You have experience and a keen interest in using CFD tools such as CFX, STAR-CCM+, or TRACE.
• Proficiency in programming with Python and/or MATLAB is essential.
• Familiarity with solid mechanics, structural dynamics, and FEM is a plus.
• You possess strong communication skills and can work independently while being open to asking questions to advance your work.
• A genuine interest in turbomachinery and aeroelasticity drives your passion for this field.
