Qualification Details

The applicant must hold a PhD degree from an internationally acknowledged university in areas related to aeroacoustics and/or fluid mechanics within the mechanical or aerospace engineering disciplines.

Additional experience such as post-doctoral research is an advantage.  He/she must also have an excellent track record of peer-reviewed journal publications, conference contributions, and research experience, with companies and institutions.

Responsibilities/Job Description

A 2-years PostDoc vacancy is available within the framework of the EU-funded XROTOR project, which proposes a completely new wind turbine design concept, called the X-Rotor, that could drastically reduce capital and operating costs, enhancing attractiveness for investment.

The candidate will investigate the unsteady aerodynamic flow features and the associated noise sources; he/she will propose work on methods for noise predictions and mitigation.

The candidate will complement experimental data with high-fidelity numerical simulations.

The candidate will work in an internation framework where a strong interaction with the consortium partners is envisioned.

About the Department

The Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology is one of the world’s most highly ranked (and most comprehensive) research, education and innovation communities devoted entirely to aerospace engineering. More than 200 science staff, around 250 PhD candidates and over 2,700 BSc and MSc students apply aerospace engineering disciplines to address the global societal challenges that threaten us today, climate change without doubt being the most important. Our focal subjects: sustainable aerospace, big data and artificial intelligence, bio-inspired engineering and smart instruments and systems. Working at the faculty means working together. With partners in other faculties, knowledge institutes, governments and industry, both aerospace and non-aerospace. Working in field labs and innovation hubs on our university campus and beyond.

The department  of Aerodynamics, Wind Energy & Flight Performance & Propulsion (AWEP) is one of the four departments composing the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. Fundamental research is performed in the section Aerodynamics.

Aircraft design, propulsion systems and their integration are the main topics in the FPP section. Wind energy systems, from small wind turbines to extra large offshore installation are the objective of the research of Wind Energy. The department operates comprehensive laboratories, equipped with modern wind tunnels and state of the art measurement systems. A large computer cluster enables numerical simulations for industrial problems and fluid-structure interaction.

The Wind Energy Section facilitates the development of wind energy technology and the expansion of the use of wind power through research and education.

In its research activities there is a focus on large multi megawatt offshore wind turbines and offshore wind farms, though urban and airborne wind power is also addressed. Both technology development aspects as well as fundamental aspects are present in the research program. With respect to educational courses, the BSc and MSc level are offered for Aerospace students, SET students and for the European Wind Energy Master (EWEM) students.

The Aeroacoustic group of the Wind Energy section makes use of state-of-the-art numerical and experimental techniques to support the development of know-how and technologies for low-noise wind-turbines and aircraft subsystems.
