Yara Technology Center, located in Porsgrunn, Norway, is a vital contributor to this success, working to improve existing processes and technologies and to develop new and innovative solutions for processes and products.
The CFD Simulation Project
Yara is looking for students to work on an interesting summer project: CFD simulation of Yara's production process. During the internship, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is 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 include, but are not limited to:
📐 Complex 3D geometry design
🌊 Simulations with single or multiphase flows in ANSYS Fluent
🗣️ Reporting and presentation in English
Who Should Apply
🧑🎓 Preferably a student in the second to final year of a master's degree in chemical engineering, mechanical engineering or similar, with good academic records
⚗️ Competency in chemistry and chemical reactions is an advantage
💪 A self-driven, responsible person who is able to communicate in a diverse working environment
🌐 Fluent in English
Duration and Location
🗓️ The project lasts 8 weeks, from June to August 2027.
