[Full tuition fees and an annual tax-free stipend of £23,805 for Home, EU and International students.] This PhD project investigates how wind-turbine wakes grow and spread as they move downstream, with a focus on the process of entrainment from a Lagrangian perspective. You will study how turbulent wake structures interact with the surrounding flow and how coherent motions, including blade-tip vortices, influence wake expansion and mixing. The work is based in the Aeronautics community at Imperi...

[Full coverage of tuition fees and an annual tax-free stipend of £23,805 for Home, EU and International students.] This PhD studentship in the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London investigates intermediate-strain turbulence , focusing on turbulent wakes that sit between the two better-understood extremes of highly strained and lowly strained flow. The project is designed to address a major gap in turbulence science by examining the physics of wake flows that are highly relevant t...
