Context / Contexte

More and more industrial actors (eg. Safran group Turboméca, PSA and Renault) need an intense technology transfer between their engineering teams and the scientific tools developed in french labs. Since four years, Cerfacs is supporting the C3S project, a framework involving meshing tools, high performance solvers, analysis software controlled through a graphical user interface. Today, C3S allows Turboméca to perform in-house high performance large-eddy simulations of helicopter combustion chambers, using cutting-edge combustion models on the latest national supercalculators.

The concept being now validated, the C3S project is bound for an increase of the scientific tools proposed to the industrial and academic communities. Among these tools are: AVBP-RG a real gas version of the LES solver, AVSP and AVTP which are respectively an acoustic solver and a thermal solver, the new  YALES-2 particularly suited to non-compressible flows(http://www.idris.fr/docs/docu/projets-Babel/YALES2/CR-projet-YALES2.html). Beyond becoming a mere access to several solvers, the C3S framework will join the global effort of Cerfacs to make repeated, massively parallel simulations involving coupled solvers.

Description / Description

The work will focus on three tasks:

- A GUI prototype to test different technical solutions. The best one will be implemented in the main GUI.

- The software architecture to operate several softwares, coupled or not, from the same GUI.

- The management of moving meshes in the interface, a critical bottleneck for the automotive community.

The engineer will be in direct contact with industrial and academic customers, trough the installation/hotline/technical support process. Considering the expectations of the C3S users, and the working context, the candidate must show excellent teamwork aptitudes, a constant scientific curiosity, and some rigor. Requested skills are, in decreasing order of importance: Unix, Tcl, Python, Tk, GUI, Fortran90, event-programming, XML, C/C++
