CFD Engineer Needed: Airflow & Thermal Simulation for Flyknit Safety Shoe Ended

About the job

Project Overview
We are developing a new line of safety shoes that utilizes a "flyknit" upper. We need an experienced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) engineer to simulate, measure, and optimize the airflow, breathability, and heat dissipation of the shoe's design.

The goal is to map out ventilation zones and adjust the knit structure to target high-heat areas of the foot, ensuring maximum thermal comfort while maintaining the structural integrity required for safety footwear.

Scope of Work & Deliverables
Porous Media Modeling: Create an accurate fluid dynamics model of our proposed flyknit weave patterns and textile densities.

Thermal & Airflow Simulation: Run CFD simulations to measure air velocity, pressure distribution, and heat transfer inside the shoe's microclimate.

Design Optimization: Provide actionable recommendations on where to increase or decrease the density of the knit to maximize airflow without compromising safety standards.

Final Deliverables: * A comprehensive report detailing the thermal mapping and airflow analysis.

Visual plots/renderings of the airflow and heat dissipation.

Modified 3D CAD files incorporating your recommended structural changes.

Required Skills & Software
Software: Proficiency in advanced CFD tools such as ANSYS Fluent, OpenFOAM, Siemens STAR-CCM+, or SolidWorks Flow Simulation.

Skills: Strong background in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

Experience modeling airflow through porous media, textiles,... read more

Skills: Strong background in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics.

Experience modeling airflow through porous media, textiles, or mesh geometries.

Proficient in 3D CAD modeling (Rhino, SolidWorks, Grasshopper, etc.) to prepare and manipulate models.

Bonus: Previous experience with footwear, apparel, or biometric thermal mapping.

Timeline: 4-6 weeks

Please include a brief proposal outlining your approach to modeling porous textiles. Crucially, please attach examples of past CFD work, preferably related to thermal management, porous media, or complex organic geometries. read less
