PhD Position Full-scale Wind Over Deck Measurements for Drone Operations

Job description
For the efficient and safe deployment of flying (marine) drones, Ship-Unmanned Aircraft System Operational Limitations (SHUASOL) must be determined. These SHUASOLs are strongly influenced by the wind field above the helideck and around ships. These wind fields are simulated on model scale as standard. For helicopters, the real limits are then determined by a test flight by an experienced test pilot. For small flying drones, these test flights are more challenging since gusts of wind have a greater impact on them. In addition, the goal is to allow drones to fly autonomously without interference from test pilots. That is why knowledge of the real wind fields around a ship and the validation of simulations of these wind fields is extra important.

In this PhD project, you will design and perform full-scale imaging measurements (particle/bubble tracking velocimetry) of the wind field at the landing deck of a marine vessel. The main goal will be to analyse the full-scale wind field, and particularly the structure and magnitude of wind gusts, relevant to flying drone operations at sea and assess how well model-scale measurements and existing numerical simulations can match these measurements. Additionally you will explore the limitations of such techniques in full-scale conditions, with respect to measurement volumes and resolution, as well as calibration, and flow seeding.

You will be part of a vibrant team of international researchers within the Multiphase Systems and Fluid Mechanics groups of the Process & Energy Department. Additionally, you will get to spend time at the Netherlands Defence Academy (NLDA, Den Helder Campus) where the majority of the measurement campaigs will take place. You will receive all the necessart training you need to evolve as an independent researcher and you be able to attend international conferences to present your work. Your supervisors will be Dr. Angeliki Laskari and Dr. Gerrit Elsinga from the Process & Energy Department in TU Delft and Dr. Roeland de Kat from NLDA.

Job requirements
You are have a strong interest in experimental fluid dynamics and are motivated to push the boundaries of measurement techniques for full-scale measurements. You also have the following qualifications:

• MSc degree in mechanical, maritime, or aerospace engineering, or a closely related field.
• Strong background in fluid mechanics.Experimental experience of flow measurements in a wind or water tunnel will be considered an advantage.
• Strong mathematical/computational background (Matlab, Python).
• Fluent communication skills in English, both in written and oral. For non-native speakers, this can be proven through IELTS or TOEFL, or by showing that you have attended a master program fully taught in English. Note that this is a hard constraint for all PhD candidates at TU Delft.
• Background screening will be part of the hiring process.

Within the Flack and Haringa groups, you will develop computational tools (such as compartment models and CFD simulations) to model large-scale animal cell culture in bioreactors, and use your models to design and develop scale-down systems for cell culture that mimic the heteregenous environment cells experience at large scale. You will then engineer bovine satellite cell lines with a variety of new and improved phenotypes, relating to (for example) shear stress resistance, metabolite gradient tolerance, and metabolic efficiency, demonstrating their performance first in your scale-down systems, and later in large bioreactors.

Within the scope of computational modelling and cell engineering for cultivated meat, there will be flexibility to design and direct your own research projects, and to become acquainted with new techniques and approaches. There will be opportunities to supervise MSc and BSc students in the group. Advice and discussion will be available for candidates interested in both academic and industry careers. We are a friendly, collaborative group and are looking for a highly motivated student with strong scientific communication skills.
