Offer Description: 

The PhD research focuses on enhancing an existing meso-microscale coupled model. The Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model will provide boundary conditions to drive a time-dependent Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) computational fluid dynamics model. The research aims to include the wake effect of future wind turbines with tip heights up to m, focusing on offshore marine environments. Key areas of investigation include boundary layer height, low-level jets, atmospheric stability, gravity waves, complex land-sea interactions, and their impacts on high-fidelity wake models. 

  Work Locations:

First 18 months : Natural Power, France. You will work with the Analytics Team, focusing on evaluating current wake models and their responses to the advanced topics discussed previously. Development of the current Ventos wake implementation and validation against a range of operational sites. This will also include the integration of new methods into the commercial modelling chain. Second 18 months: University of Porto (FEUP), Portugal. You will collaborate with the VENTOS® CFD research team, continuing the work from Natural Power. This phase will focus on developments of the meso-scale coupled model with specific reference to integrating wake modelling into a coupled model that is commercially deployable in the current modelling chain.

Benefits:
