Advanced design strategies for offshore horizontal-axis wind turbines University of Huddersfield in United Kingdom

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton in turbulent boundary layers, junction flows, and experimental aerodynamics . The project, Close Encounters: Interaction of turbulent boundary layers with junctions , is hosted in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton and supervised by Professor Bharath Ganapathisubramani . It investigates how aerodynamic components such as wings, fuselages, trusses, and appendages interact to create complex pressure gra...

PhD opportunity at the University of Southampton on modelling gust-wing interactions in curvilinear flows , with a focus on vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) , computational fluid dynamics , data-driven modelling , experimental aerodynamics , and fluid mechanics . The project investigates how gusts affect blade aerodynamics in curved trajectories, including dynamic stall, throughflow, wake interactions, and nonlinear load fluctuations. You will combine CFD simulations, physics-informed predict...
