What is a computational fluid dynamics internship?

A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Internship is a temporary position where students or recent graduates apply CFD principles to analyze fluid flow, heat transfer, and related physical phenomena using simulation software. Interns typically work under experienced engineers, assisting in model setup, running simulations, and interpreting results for engineering applications. These internships are common in industries such as aerospace, automotive, and energy, helping candidates gain practical experience in computational modeling and fluid dynamics analysis.

What typical projects or tasks can I expect to work on during a computational fluid dynamics internship?

As a Computational Fluid Dynamics Intern, you will likely assist with setting up and running CFD simulations, analyzing simulation data, and validating results against experimental or theoretical benchmarks. Interns often help optimize models, document findings, and present results to engineering teams. You may work collaboratively with senior engineers, participate in team meetings, and gain exposure to real-world design problems in industries such as automotive, aerospace, or energy. This hands-on experience helps develop both technical and professional skills that are highly valued in engineering careers.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in a computational fluid dynamics internship?

To excel in a Computational Fluid Dynamics Internship, you need a strong background in fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and numerical methods, typically supported by coursework in mechanical or aerospace engineering. Familiarity with CFD software such as ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL, or OpenFOAM, and basic programming skills in languages like Python or MATLAB are commonly expected. Attention to detail, problem-solving ability, and effective communication are key soft skills that help interns work collaboratively and convey technical findings. These competencies are essential for analyzing complex fluid flow problems and contributing valuable insights to engineering projects.

Job Description

Analytical Mechanics Associates Inc. is currently seeking a Computational Fluid Dynamicist to join our onsite team at NASA Langley. Specifically, this position resides in the Computational Hypersonics, Aeroheating, Reentry, and Gridding Ensemble (CHARGE) which primarily supports the RSES contract at NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton, VA. CHARGE provides a state-of-the-art computational design, analysis, simulation, and optimization capability in support of NASA's high speed airbreathing full scale vehicle development, subscale flight demonstrators, and associated ground tests through the innovative and timely utilization of a range of commercial and internally developed software packages.

The salary range for this position is $95,000-$120,000 commensurate with education and experience.

Responsibilities include:

  • Performing three-dimensional numerical simulations of internal and external flows including multi-species finite rate chemistry and the accompanying grid generation
  • Developing engine and vehicle designs along with determining performance and operability for programs involving ramjet/scramjet propulsion utilizing a variety of methods from cycle to Navier-Stokes codes

Requirements:

  • MS degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering
  • 2 - 5 years of work experience
  • Experience with commercial/government grid generation packages (Pointwise, Heldenmesh, etc.) and flow solvers (VULCAN, Loci/CHEM, FUN3D, USM3D, OVERFLOW, CFD++, etc.)
  • Experience with data visualization software (TECPLOT, etc.)Background with CAD software is preferred
  • Background in the interpretation of high-speed wind tunnel testing is also desirable
  • Security Clearance will be needed - therefore, only US citizens can be considered
