Siemens Gamesa

A Snapshot of Your Day

Join a hands-on, research-driven internship where you build and document a full CFD workflow for steam turbine applications—from meshing single blades and full rotors/stages to consistent post-processing. You compare solvers and meshing strategies head-to-head, balance accuracy against computational cost, and turn findings into clear best-practice guidelines. You design scripts and macros to streamline analysis and create reusable assets for future studies. You share progress through technical notes, regular meetings, and a final presentation to stakeholders.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Dive into literature and benchmark cases to ground your steam turbine CFD approach in proven methods.
• Generate meshes in ANSYS Meshing and Pointwise for single blades and full rotors/stages, perform quality checks, and verify mesh independence.
• Set up and run CFD in OpenFOAM, FLUENT, and CFX with the right boundary conditions and physical models (turbulence and steam-related effects).
• Assess convergence, numerical robustness, accuracy, and computational cost to compare solvers and mesh strategies.
• Build post-processing workflows and scripts to evaluate velocity/pressure fields, losses, efficiencies, loading distributions, and visualize flow structures, then synthesize best-practice recommendations and present them.

What You Bring

• You are a Master’s student from a top French engineering school (e.g., CentraleSupélec, École Polytechnique, ENSTA, ISAE-Supaero, Arts et Métiers, IMT Atlantique, INSA, UTC, ENPC – École des Ponts ParisTech, Mines Paris, Centrale Lyon/Nantes) or an equivalent international program.
• You study Mechanical, Aerospace, or Energy Engineering (or similar) and are strongly interested in fluid mechanics.
• You bring initial CFD experience from academic projects or a prior internship.
• You can script in Python and/or MATLAB for pre- and post-processing.
• You are fluent in English; French is an advantage.
