Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology (GTIIT), China & Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, Israel.
The Mechanical Engineering (Robotics) Program (group of Vikrant Gupta) is looking for a motivated PhD candidate to conduct research on dynamic modelling of wind turbine wakes. Contract duration: 3 + 1 years.
Deployment of wind turbines is increasing worldwide. They are becoming larger, closely packed, and located in increasingly unexplored terrain. This project aims to develop a low-dimensional dynamical model for wind turbine wakes that can seamlessly account for varied atmospheric inflow conditions. The model will run on a GPU-accelerated CFD solver to achieve real-time performance. The aim will be to design a model 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 7000 in Shantou and $ 2167 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.
