focuses on aerodynamic and aero-acoustic modeling and experimental research for
airfoil and blade design and optimization and implements the research in
cooperation with i
ndustry, in software tools and in courses.

The research includes CFD and fluid-structure coupling for Aeroelastic design
of wind turbines in wind farms including effects from wakes and terrain, experimental
investigations in wind tunnels and full-scale and aerodynamic noise modelling.

Responsibilities
and tasks

The objective of the proposed PhD study is to combine existing measurements of
laminar/turbulent transition from the DAN-AERO Exp. and other available
measurements from wind tunnels with the modeling capability of the EllipSys3D
to investigate details of the transition process for modern large scale rotors,
and further validate the computational approach.

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.

A good knowledge of
aerodynamics, prior experience with CFD and Fortran programming is preferred.
