PhD Student in Forcing and Nonlinear Interactions in Wind Turbine Wakes - DTU Wind

Opportunity summary

Official occupation: ph.d., naturvidenskab og teknik. Employment conditions: Almindelige vilkår. Employer CVR: 30060946. Primary career market: Public Sector, Education & Impact (employer-sector evidence). Are you motivated by fundamental questions in turbulence and excited to develop next-generation data-driven models for wind turbine wakes? At DTU Wind and Energy Systems, we are seeking a highly motivated PhD candidate to investigate how nonlinear interactions between turbulent flow structures influence wind turbine wake dynamics. The project combines fluid mechanics, high-fidelity simulations, and data-driven reduced-order modelling to advance our understanding of wind turbine wake behaviour under realistic atmospheric conditions. The PhD is conducted in close collaboration with Imperial College London and Professor Oliver Buxton, and includes an extended research stay at Imperial with the aim of bridging state-of-the-art numerical simulations and advanced laboratory experiments to create new modelling approaches for turbulent wind turbine wakes. Responsibilities and qualifications Your overall responsibilities will be to: To perform CFD simulations of wind turbine wake aerodynamics across various operational and atmospheric conditions. To investigate different data-driven methods in terms of accuracy and computational efficiency, e.g1 …
