PhD Position Aerodynamics and Aeroelasticity of Extra-Large Wind Turbines-
Job description
The energy transition necessitates a substantial expansion of wind energy, requiring a six-fold increase in the current installed wind energy capacity. Increased turbine sizes with larger rotor diameters that capture more wind power are an important cost reduction driver. It is foreseen that the rated capacity of OWTs will continue to grow, exceeding 25MW (over 350m rotor diameter) in the next five to ten years based on the current OWT design trends.
This PhD project is part of the NEXTgenT (NEXT generation of over 25MW offshore wind Turbine rotor design) MSCA Doctoral Networks Our goal is to train next generation of young engineers to understand technical and theoretical limits and challenge to design a next generation of over 25MW (25+MW) OWT rotor systems. This will be achieved by advancing the technologies, theories, numerical tools, and design methods.
The objective of this PhD position is to understand and modelling 3D unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity of the extra-large wind turbine rotors. It will focus on:
- Understand the challenges of the aerodyanmic and aeroelastic design of the extra-large rotors;
- Developing novel unsteady 3D induction models;
- Dynamic testing of a scaled-down wind turbine in a wind tunnel;
- Validating the models at different scales under different operational conditions.
**Requirements**:
A combination of good mathematical and analytical skills and a strong interest in numerical and experimental aerodynamics/aeroelasticity are required. Experience with numerical and experimental techniques in aerodynamics or fluid dynamics is preferred.
**Eligibility criteria**
Conditions of employment
From 1 September next, a salary increase of 3.7% applies due to a Collective Agreement amendment, followed by an additional 1% increase on 1 January 2025. In addition, most employees employed on 1 September 2024 will receive a one-off payment of €300 gross based on full-time employment.
The TU Delft offers a customisable compensation package, discounts on health insurance, and a monthly work costs contribution. Flexible work schedules can be arranged.
For international applicants, TU Delft has the Coming to Delft Service. This service provides information for new international employees to help you prepare the relocation and to settle in the Netherlands. The Coming to Delft Service offers a Dual Career Programme for partners and they organise events to expand your (social) network.
