Job Description: A new postdoctoral position is available within the framework of FLORIDA, a French-German project led by Ecole Centrale Nantes (France) and the University of Oldenburg (Germany). The overall objective of this project is to study the wake of a wind turbine and its influence on another one located downstream.
Ecole Centrale Nantes is seeking a postdoctoral researcher to work at LHEEA Lab (CNRS joint research Unit) to be involved in wave tank experiments. Their role will be to:
• Study the model configuration and the choice/generation of test conditions
The experimental model is being designed in Ecole Centrale Nantes. The mooring system and test conditions (environmental conditions, wind turbine controller) need to be studied and defined at model scale. This will be done in agreement with the different partners, industry standards, and scientific problems at stake.
• Be involved in the team carrying out the experimental campaign in the wave tank
The real-time hybrid experimental approach implies a real-time simulation, performed with a simulation tool (i.e. OpenFAST [2]). Coupled simulation need to be performed and all input files need to be prepared and tested for the real-time simulations. A strong involvement is also needed during the tests in the wave tank.
• Data processing and analysis, scientific writing
• Eventually, the measurements will be processed and analysed. The coupled response of experimental models under waked wind conditions will be studied. Fully coupled simulations will be performed with OpenFAST and compared to the wave tank measurements. The analysis of this data will then be used for publication.
Objectives/Expected results
• Construction of an experimental database in wave tank conditions
• Comparison of the experimental measurements with fully coupled simulations
• Work in a collaborative environment through the active participation to international consortia.
• Write project reports and deliverables
• Write scientific publications
