The PhD student will carry out large-scale experiments in the atmospheric section of the PRISME wind tunnel, using various measurement tools (pressure, hot-wire, PIV). From these measurements, the project will focus on building representative physics-based reduced-order models, capable of predicting the performance of the wind farms with different inputs depending on the flow conditions (yaw, turbulence, angular momentum added by the blades, etc.).<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"453\" height=\"555\" src=\"https:\/\/windfarms-aero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SONATE_dessin_setup.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66\" style=\"width:387px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/windfarms-aero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SONATE_dessin_setup.png 453w, https:\/\/windfarms-aero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SONATE_dessin_setup-245x300.png 245w, https:\/\/windfarms-aero.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/SONATE_dessin_setup-326x400.png 326w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 453px) 100vw, 453px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Expected skills: <\/strong>we are looking for a highly motivated PhD student (F\/M), holding a Master degree in physics or mechanical engineering with strong background in fluid mechanics, experimental techniques and turbulence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Period: <\/strong>starting scheduled for Fall 2025 (October ideally), for 3 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Application: <\/strong>Send your CV, motivation letter, transcript of marks (even partial) of Master, and the contact details of two scientific referees before March, 7th, 2025 to cedric.raibaudo@univ-orleans.fr<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Supervisors: Dr. C\u00e9dric Raibaudo (advisor, grant recipient), Pr.
