Post-doctoral position as posted on Postdoc Jobs website:

------------------------------------------

A postdoctoral position is available in our laboratory at IFREMER -
Nantes
(French Institute of Research about exploitation of the sea), 
Seafood Ingeneering Laboratory
The position is for 11 months and starting as soon as possible. 
The salary will be around 13,500 francs/month (free of charge) and is
for non french citizenship.
Applicants should have at least the Ph.D level.

Context : Fish smoking is a very important processing for the seafood
industry. France is one of the international leader for the salmon
smoking
production, with an annual production of 12000 t. The productivity
optimisation, with respect of organoleptic and sanitory quality, is a
major
stake of this sector. An exploratory solution is given by the new 
continuous Salting-Drying-Smoking process patented by IFREMER and
CIRAD. Smoking
operation is performed by a rapid deposition of smoke subjected to an
electrostatic field (the same physical principle of the Electrostatic
Precipitator is used).

Scientific objective : The aim of this post-doctoral research is to
model,
simulate and optimise the smoking efficiency. Particle deposition in
this
process depends on the flow conditions and superimposed electrodynamic
conditions. The flow field structure is governed by the interactions
between the particle phase and ionic wind. Numerical investigations of
Navier-Stokes and Maxwell equations is needed and an adaptation of a
Computational Fluid
Dynamics code is also required.
