The Wind Energy Division at Risø DTU, Technical University of Denmark, is seeking a PhD fellow (employee) to work on the improvement and validation of a engineering aerodynamic models for wind turbines. This PhD position is associated with the Marie Curie Initial Training Programme, SYS.WIND. As part of the SYS.WIND project, the PhD student will be involved in an international network of young researchers, focused around different aspects of system identification, condition and health monitoring. Applicants for PhD positions need to be within the first five years (of full-time equivalent) of their careers in research. Applicants must not have resided or carried out their main activity (work, studies, etc.) in the country of the organization they are applying to for more than 12 months in the 3 years immediately prior to the recruitment.
Job Description
This PhD position is concerned with improving and refining existing engineering models for dynamic stall and stall delay. Engineering models are widely used in industry, and further development of the models based on the newest experimental data supplemented by Computational Fluid Dynamics studies will be important for the predictive capability of modern aeroelastic codes. Additionally, the aerodynamics is an essential part of understanding the load situations experience by a turbine during its lifetime.
The PhD employee’s main focus will be to combining results from existing Navier-Stokes computations, model experiments of airfoils and rotors in wind tunnels (NREL Phase-VI and MEXICO) and full scale experiments (DanAero).
Qualifications
Candidates should have a master’s degree in engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree in engineering. You are expected to have good written and oral communication skills in English. Previous experience with wind turbine aerodynamics, analyzing measurements, CFD, C/Fortran programming and project management would be considered an advantage. To qualify for the Fellowship, you must satisfy the requirements of a Marie Curie Early-Stage Researcher (ESR) and also the mobility requirements, both as defined in the Guide for Applicants (click on the Information Package bullet).
