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

Description
The Red Gate Group is seeking a talented and motivated Physicist to support advanced multiphysics modeling and simulation efforts in Albuquerque, NM. In this role, you will contribute to high-impact government contracts focused on conventional weapons effects, computational structural dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, and multi-spectrum functional defeat modeling. The ideal candidate brings a strong physics foundation, hands-on simulation experience, and the ability to operate effectively within a collaborative, fast-paced technical environment supporting national defense priorities.
Key Responsibilities:
  • Develop, execute, and validate Computational Structural Dynamics (CSD) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models to support conventional weapons effects analysis
  • Perform coupled CFD/CSD simulations to characterize complex fluid-structure interaction phenomena under operationally relevant conditions
  • Conduct thermal modeling to assess heat transfer, thermal loading, and material response in weapons effects scenarios
  • Build and apply multi-spectrum functional defeat models to evaluate target vulnerability and system defeat mechanisms across relevant threat profiles
  • Support the development and maintenance of conventional weapons effects models in compliance with program-specific requirements and standards
  • Execute rigorous uncertainty analysis to quantify and communicate model fidelity, sensitivity, and confidence bounds to stakeholders
  • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of physicists, engineers, and analysts to integrate simulation outputs into broader system-level assessments and technical reports

Required Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Physics, Applied Physics, Mechanical Engineering, or a closely related STEM discipline (Master's preferred)
  • 8+ years of experience in multiphysics modeling and simulation, consistent with a journeyman proficiency level
  • Demonstrated hands-on experience with CFD and/or CSD modeling tools (e.g., ANSYS, LS-DYNA, ABAQUS, OpenFOAM, AUTODYN, or equivalent)
  • Working knowledge of coupled multi-physics simulation methodologies, including fluid-structure interaction
  • Familiarity with uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods and their application in physics-based modeling environments
  • US Citizen with an Active Top Secret / SCI security clearance (required at time of application)
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to document and present technical findings clearly to both technical and programmatic audiences

Desired Qualifications
  • Experience with conventional munitions, terminal ballistics, or weapons effects modeling in a DoW or DOE-related program environment
  • Familiarity with multi-spectrum target defeat analysis or vulnerability/lethality (V/L) assessments
  • Experience working within a government contracting environment, including adherence to SOW deliverables, CDRLs, and program schedules
  • Proficiency in scripting or programming languages (Python, MATLAB, or Fortran) for pre/post-processing and automation of simulation workflows
