Agreement Number: 101169009
PhD position in the MSCA Doctoral Network H2POWRD (f/m/x) - Harnessing Hydrogen’s Potential with Rotating Detonation
Experimental investigation of RDCs for gas generator applications in rocket propulsion
What to expect:
The DLR Institute of Space Propulsion tests liquid chemical space propulsion and propulsion systems on behalf of the European Space Agency (ESA), industry and cooperating research institutions. DLR employees research and develop application-oriented and advanced propulsion technologies, components and propellants. The activities cover the entire range of technology readiness levels (TRL). In addition, the experience in dealing with hydrogen is transferred to the fields of aviation, energy and safety, and the knowledge of scramjet technologies and the corresponding testing options is brought into the field of safety.
DC3 is part of the H2POWRD – Harnessing Hydrogen’s Potential with Rotating Detonation: Call for applications to 15 PhD positions in the MSCA Doctoral Network H2POWRD.
The goal of this project is to investigate if the conventional gas generator in a liquid propellant rocket propulsion system that drives the turbopumps in many European launcher engines could be replaced by a rotating detonation combustor (RDC). The main technical challenges and research questions that need to be addressed are whether a stable detonation can be achieved and sustained at very low propellant mixture ratios and how the flow and pressure dynamics of the rotating detonation waves influence the driving of supersonic turbines.
Application Deadline: Feb. 7, 2025
Planned Start Date: April 1, 2025
What we expect from you:
Specific requirements:
  • Master Degree in Aerospace engineering, Mechanical engineering, Thermal engineering or equivalent
  • Candidates should possess a Master’s degree in a relevant academic field (Mechanical, Energy or Chemical Engineering, Physics, or closely related) or a degree that allows them to embark in a PhD. Additional requirements could be necessary according to specific institution’s rules.
Further skills and qualifications:
  • excellent English
  • 1-4 years of research experience
Please apply at info@h2powrd.eu
What we offer:
DLR stands for diversity, appreciation and equality for all people. We promote independent work and the individual development of our employees both personally and professionally. To this end, we offer numerous training and development opportunities. Equal opportunities are of particular importance to us, which is why we want to increase the proportion of women in science and management in particular. Applicants with severe disabilities will be given preference if they are qualified.
