Flows of contaminants within the scanner of ASML machines can significantly affect performance. It is therefore of great importance to simulate such flows. Because of the molecular scales at which diffusion of contaminants occurs, the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC), which is a particle-based method typically used to simulate gas flows, is a suitable choice for such kind of problems. Because of the typical conditions found in the applications of interest, a passive scalar approach (PSA) can correctly capture the relevant physics: contaminants in very low concentrations are convicted and diffuse in a background gas stream.
The goal of this internship project is to verify and validate the implementation of the PSA module recently developed within the DSMC opensource code SPARTA. During the internship, you will work on a state-of-the-art code. At first, the focus is on the verification of the code implementation of the PSA module. Then, the module is validated against known results. You will contribute to both phases devising verification and validation tests inspired by literature and/or other numerical methods results.
This is a Master internship, both an apprentice or a graduation, for the duration of 6 or more months, 5 days a week, starting as soon as possible.
