Deployment of wind turbines is increasing worldwide. They are becoming larger, closely packed, and located in increasingly unexplored terrain. This project aims to analyse wind turbine wakes under varied atmospheric inflow conditions and operating conditions of the wind turbine. The output of the work will be the basis to develop GPU-accelerated CFD solver for wind farms that can aid wind farm design, calculate wake effects and assist dynamic control.

The student will work in collaboration with other team members and have access to research facilities at Guangdong Technion and Technion-IIT, Israel. There will be collaboration opportunities with the fastest growing wind industry for which Shantou has emerged as a hub. International students are welcome. The tuition will be fully covered, and a generous stipend is offered (per month RMB 4000 in Shantou and $ 1410 in Haifa). The degree is from Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, which is among the most reputed universities in the world, and we maintain the same qualification standards at Guangdong Technion.
