Résumé du poste

Imperial College London invites applications for a PhD project investigating wind-turbine wakes using cutting-edge particle tracking velocimetry (PTV). The project runs parallel to a DTU collaboration in Copenhagen to develop reduced-order models of wakes and allows travel between London and Copenhagen.

You will gain hands-on experience with PTV in a facility optimized for entrainment measurements, contribute to pioneering research in turbulent entrainment, and prepare papers for international

Qualifications

• First class honours MEng/MSci or higher degree in Aeronautical, Mechanical Engineering; Maths or Physics.
• Strong motivation and ability to work independently.
• Interest in fluid mechanics and experimental methods.

Responsabilités

• Perform cutting-edge PTV experiments to study entrainment in a wind-turbine wake.
• Collaborate with DTU to develop reduced-order wake models and travel between London and Copenhagen.
• Contribute to writing papers and presenting findings at international conferences.
• Engage with Imperial’s network for professional development.
