Offer Description
We are looking for a motivated PhD candidate to delve into flow dynamics in offshore wind farms, developing novel computer simulations. As the scale of wind turbines and farms expands, particularly in offshore settings, they present novel challenges due to the unique atmospheric turbulence phenomena that remain largely uncharted.
This PhD project, integral to the ERC consolidator WINDFLOW project, is dedicated to the development and application of novel large-eddy simulation techniques. Your research will illuminate the intricate dynamics between wind and waves, assessing their influence on the efficiency of offshore wind farms. This is a chance to advance knowledge in renewable energy and make a significant contribution to improving wind farm efficiency. Join us in shaping the future of sustainable energy.
Requirements
Specific Requirements
We are seeking applications from motivated early-career researchers with a strong background in fluid dynamics, mechanical engineering, computational physics, applied physics, mathematics, geophysics, or related subject areas. Proficiency in programming languages such as Fortran, C/C++, MATLAB, or Python is advantageous. Candidates should thrive in an international environment and actively contribute to team research efforts. Excellent communication skills and a willingness to share knowledge at conferences and meetings are highly valued. Proficiency in spoken and written English is essential. We encourage a high degree of responsibility and independence while collaborating with colleagues.
