Porsgrunn Summer Intern Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)

We at Yara are part of a global network, collaborating to profitably and responsibly solve some of the world's key challenges - resource scarcity, food insecurity and environmental change.
About the Unit

Mastering technology and development has always been a key to the commercial success of Yara’s products. Yara Technology Center, located in Porsgrunn, Norway, is a vital contributor to this success working to improve existing processes and technologies as well as to develop new and innovative solutions for processes and products.

We are now looking for students to work on an interesting project during this summer: CFD Simulation of Yara 's production process

During the internship, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) will be used to simulate one of Yara's production processes. The simulations can be used in developing new process technology for Yara or connected to Yara factory troubleshooting.

Responsibilities

The tasks will include, but are not limited to:

- Complex 3D geometry design

- Simulations with single or multiphase flows in ANSYS Fluent

- Reporting and presentation in English

Profile

- Preferably you should be a student in the second to final year of master’s degree in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering or similar, with good academic records.
Competency in chemistry and chemical reactions is an advantage.

- We are looking for a person that is self-driven, responsible and able to communicate in a diverse working environment

- Fluent in English

Additional Information

The project will last for 8 weeks from June to August 2027
