Advance detonation engine inlet research using computational fluid dynamics and experimental validation in a supervised laboratory fellowship. The work targets attritable UAS propulsion.
This two-year postdoctoral fellowship develops and evaluates a novel inlet architecture for detonation engines. Research combines computational fluid dynamics, experimental validation, and compressible-flow knowledge to assess feasibility. The project addresses low-cost, high-efficiency propulsion systems for attritable uncrewed aerial systems.
Key Responsibilities: Develop novel inlet architectures for detonation engines
Evaluate proposed inlet designs through computational fluid dynamics
Conduct experimental validation of research findings




Establish feasibility of detonation engine inlets
Work under direct supervision of an NRC researcher
Requirements: PhD in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
Basic experience in additive manufacturing design
Basic experience using advanced cooling technologies
Basic experience in compressible flow
English language proficiency and Reliability Status eligibility
Apply detonation, compressible-flow, computational, and experimental expertise to low-cost propulsion research for attritable UAS.
