About the position
Within the SFB 1313 of the University of Stuttgart, the open-source simulator DuMux plays an important role for modeling flow and transport processes in and around porous media. DuMux is written in modern C++ and in active development since 2007, mainly at the Department of Hydromechanics and Modeling of Hydrosystems, University of Stuttgart. It has been successfully applied to scenarios from all three application project areas of the SFB 1313 which are "Free and Porous-Media Flow", "Fracture Propagation and Fluid Flow", and "Fluid-Solid Phase Change".
The general goal of the two-year postdoctoral project is to improve the simulator DuMux, particularly in the area of model coupling (e.g. geomechanics, biogeochemistry, and coupling free with porous-media flow). This may include enhancing the simulator's modeling capabilities or increasing its single-core and parallel performance by improving the assembly process or employing state-of-the-art nonlinear/linear solver libraries. Specific objectives will be defined together with the successful candidate according to their expertise, given that they are relevant for the DuMux users within at least one of the three project areas.
It is expected that the developments will be sustainable by being integrated into the main development line according to the DuMux contribution guidelines and made available to the whole scientific community.
