Offer DescriptionThe Wind Engineering and Renewable Energy Laboratory (WiRE) of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne (EPFL) searches a postdoctoral researcher for a project recently funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation. The project aims at investigating the interaction between wind farms and the atmospheric boundary layer using a combination of field experiments, wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations.The main activities to be carried out as part of the aforementioned project include:1) Studying wind turbine wake flows and their superposition inside wind farms.2) Investigating the effect of atmospheric stability conditions on wind turbine wakes and power output.3) Using the lidar measurements for the validation and improvement of analytical wake models.RequirementsResearch Field Engineering Education Level PhD or equivalentSkills/QualificationsThe candidates should hold a PhD in engineering or physics and have experience in experimental fluid dynamics and wind energy. It is highly desirable that the candidates have experience in the use and analysis of data from scanning Doppler wind lidars.Languages ENGLISH Level ExcellentAdditional InformationWork Location(s)Number of offers available 1 Company/Institute EPFL Country Switzerland GeofieldWhere to apply E-mailfernando.porte-agel@epfl.chContact CityLausanne, Switzerland WebsiteStreetLausanneSTATUS: EXPIRED
