Large-scale wind turbines, specifically located offshore, present very specific technical challenges. Structural design and optimisation of performance in energy conversion are dependent on a correct estimation of the effects of flow, but scale and interaction between devices have a significant impact.

In this project you will work on and develop numerical modelling capabilities for arrays of turbines with non-homogeneous flows and wake effects. The modelling technology will be leveraged to devel...

This is a four-year (1+3 MRes/PhD) studentship funded through the Cambridge EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Future Infrastructure and Built Environment: Unlocking Net Zero (FIBE3 CDT). Further details can be found at https://www.net-zero-fibe-cdt.eng.cam.ac.uk/.

The project is funded in collaboration with Ward & Burke, a leading engineering firm specialising in the design, manufacture, supply, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of water and wastewater infrastructure with...

The UK’s railway bridge asset stock represents over 80% well-aged (>50 years) infrastructure, often carrying loads beyond their original design capacity, hence in urgent need of a reliable real-time damage identification system. The current practice of visual inspection of bridges can be subjective and exposes the workforce to hazardous job sites. In recent years, there have been significant efforts in instrumenting bridges and assessing the condition of the bridge using direct measurements. The...
