Aerodynamics and Aeroelasticity PhD Position
2 maanden geleden
The energy transition requires a significant expansion of wind energy, necessitating a substantial increase in installed capacity. To achieve this, larger turbine sizes with increased rotor diameters are being developed, capturing more wind power and reducing costs. This PhD project is part of the NEXTgenT MSCA Doctoral Networks, aiming to train the next generation of engineers to understand technical and theoretical limits and design the next generation of over 25MW OWT rotor systems.
Research Objectives- Understand and model 3D unsteady aerodynamics and aeroelasticity of extra-large wind turbine rotors.
- Develop novel unsteady 3D induction models.
- Dynamic testing of a scaled-down wind turbine in a wind tunnel.
- Validate the models at different scales under various operational conditions.
The candidate should have an MSc degree in wind energy or a related engineering discipline, such as mechanical engineering, fluid dynamics, applied physics, or applied mathematics, with proven experience in wind engineering.
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- Eligible candidates must not have resided or carried out their main activity in the country of their first host institution for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately before their recruitment.
- Eligible candidates must have a master's degree relevant to the chosen position or its equivalent that would entitle them to a doctorate, awarded before the start of the positions.
Doctoral candidates will be offered a 4-year period of employment in principle, but in the form of 2 employment contracts. An initial 1.5-year contract with an official go/no-go progress assessment within 15 months, followed by an additional contract for the remaining 2.5 years assuming everything goes well and performance requirements are met.
Salary and benefits are in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for Dutch Universities, increasing from €2770 per month in the first year to €3539 in the fourth year.
