Titre du poste : PhD Fellowship position in Wind Turbine Aerodynamics
Entreprise : OsloMet
Description du poste : OsloMet – storbyuniversitetet er Norges tredje største universitet med 23 000 studenter og over 2600 ansatte. Vi har campus i Oslo sentrum og på Romerike. OsloMet leverer forskning og utdanning med høy relevans for arbeidslivet, velferdsstaten og storbyregionen.Fakultet for teknologi, kunst og design (TKD) utgjør et sterkt og mangfoldig faglig miljø med tydelig internasjonalt preg. Arbeidet gjøres i en profesjonell organisasjon som er ledende i å ta i bruk ny teknologi og nye løsninger, og er langt fremme på tverrfaglig og eksternt samarbeid. Fakultet for teknologi, kunst og design er i sterk vekst og vi rekrutterer høyt kvalifiserte medarbeidere fra hele verden.
Fakultet TKD har om lag 4 000 studenter og 400 ansatte, og holder til i Pilestredet i Oslo sentrum og på Kjeller utenfor Lillestrøm. Fakultetet utfører forskning og tilbyr utdanning på bachelor-, master- og doktorgradsnivå innen teknologi, kunst og design.The Department of Mechanical, Electrical and Chemical Engineering at the Faculty of Technology, Art and Design has a vacant PhD Fellowship position in Wind Turbine Aerodynamics.Area of researchFloating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) allow wind energy generation in deep waters where wind speeds are higher and more consistent. Unlike fixed-bottom turbines, FOWTs are affected by wave and wind-induced platform motions, which influence the airflow around them. These movements create complex wake dynamics that can reduce energy efficiency and increase structural loads on nearby turbines.The present PhD project focuses on experimental wind tunnel studies by means of scaled FOWT models and a robotic platform to replicate coupled motions to analyze how FOWT platform motions impact wake formation and aerodynamic loads. The project will be co-supervised by experts in aeroelasticity and machine learning and can include aspects of fluid-structure interaction and digital twins depending on the candidate’s interest and capabilities.The position is advertised as a 3-year position with 100% research, or a 4-year position with 75% research and 25% other career-advancing work. The goal must be to complete the PhD program/degree within the decided time frame. The decision on a 3- or 4-year position will be discussed as part of the interviews in the hiring process.Qualification requirements and conditions
