Job Description:
The CFD Analyst in Ajman plays a key role in simulating and analyzing fluid dynamics related to ship hydrodynamics, propulsion performance, and hull resistance. This position involves performing detailed computational modeling to optimize ship design, reduce drag, improve propulsion efficiency, and support design validation prior to physical prototyping or sea trials.
Primary responsibilities include setting up CFD simulations for various flow regimes around the hull, propeller interaction, appendage drag, and wave resistance. The analyst works closely with naval architects and hydrodynamicists to interpret simulation results and propose design modifications. This role also supports studies on flow separation, cavitation, wake field analysis, and propeller-induced vibration.
The CFD Analyst prepares reports, visualizations, and presentations to aid design teams and classification societies in making informed engineering decisions. Additionally, the role supports verification and validation activities, comparing CFD results with model basin or sea trial data, and assists in the development of automated simulation workflows for parametric hull optimization.
Job Requirement:
A degree in mechanical, marine, or aerospace engineering with specialization in fluid dynamics is required. At least 5 years of experience in marine CFD analysis is essential. Proficiency in tools such as ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+, OpenFOAM, or NUMECA is necessary. Strong skills in meshing, turbulence modeling, and post-processing are critical. Familiarity with hull design principles, propeller-hull interaction, and hydrodynamic testing is important. Candidates should have experience scripting (Python, MATLAB) for workflow automation and be comfortable collaborating with naval architects and design engineers in fast-paced project environments.
