The objective of this postdoctoral position is to develop and implement a simulation method for the simulation of a
sodium spray fire. Two key points need to be adressed. First, one needs to propose a proper representation of the sodium
droplets (dispersed phase) from their generation by a jet (separate phase) fragmentation to their behavior (motion,
oxidation, combustion) in the air atmosphere. This requires to derive a flow model that accounts for multiple components
with multiple interface topology regimes (dispersed and separate). Second, one needs to develop a robust discretization
strategy for this complex flow model.

The numerical work will be implemented in a new numerical tool to perform simulations of sodium spray fires developed at CEA. This tool is based on the canoP. Canop is a library designed for solving computational fluid dynamics problems using a cell-based
Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) approach and parallel calculation.
