That’s why we work with an explorer’s heart and a perfectionist’s grit to design, build, and service world’s most advanced aircraft engines. We do this across a diverse portfolio including Commercial Engines, Military Engines, Business Aviation, General Aviation, Regional Aviation, and Helicopter Aviation and as a way of turning possibilities into realities for our customers. This is how we at Pratt & Whitney approach our work, and this is why we are inspired to go beyond.Whether you are currently pursuing a Master’s or PhD degree, we can help you harness your potential, advance your skills and make the impossible a reality. If you are currently enrolled in a Canadian university, now is the moment to start a career path that can drive impact and innovation for generations to come.At Pratt & Whitney, the difference you make is on display every day. Just look up. Are you ready to go beyond?Internship dates: January 6th to August 22nd, 2025Location: Plant 22/MississaugaCheck out our YouTube channel:Our website:Our expectations:Combustion Aerothermal Systems is one of the Combustion module departments within the Turbomachinery organization. The department is responsible for design and validation of the combustion section of turbofan, turboprop, and turboshaft engines. The aerothermal design process uses various numerical tools, including CFD simulations, with validation testing in rigs and engines.This internship will focus on improving the combustion CFD prediction process by evaluating and implementing improvements to batch meshing using PyFluent, parameterization and mesh optimization. Some preliminary evaluation of the impact of the mesh on NOx emissions predictions will also be explored.The Combustion Aero/Thermal Analyst intern will have the following key responsibilities:

• Use ANSYS Fluent Mesher to generate mesh then run combustion CFD simulations
• Establish a methodology for automatic meshing using PyFluent
• Develop mesh Parameterization and Optimization guidelines
• Investigate the impact of the mesh characteristics on emissions prediction with primary focus on NOx
• Summarize and present findings
• Document the findings in reports

What your day to day will look like:

• Generate, review and test CFD models/methodologies to develop guidelines as to the impact of mesh characteristics on predicted results
• Summarize and present findings to peers
• Support improvement of the current CFD process

What you need to be successful:Must haves:

• Be eligible to work in Canada
• Be enrolled in a Canadian university throughout your internship
• Be able to work on-site in the province where you are hired
• Pursuing a Master’s or PhD degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, Chemical Engineering or Engineering Physics
• Good oral and written communication skills in English (spoken/written). French is an asset.
• Ability to work independently as well as in teams
• Solid understanding of Fluid mechanics, Thermodynamics and Heat transfer
• Proficiency in ANSYS CAD tools (SpaceClaim, Design Modeller and Discovery)
• Proficiency in ANSYS Fluent Mesher and Fluent Solver
• Experience with CFD post/Tecplot
• Exposure to combustion CFD
• Basic understanding of programming language (C/C++, Python, MATLAB)

Assets:

• Organizational skills and ability to work under pressure with competing and varying priorities
• Project management skills
