Doctoral candidate network AptWind

Project title: AptWind – Atmospheric Physics and Turbulence for Wind Energy Doctoral Network

Summary:

The aim is to train a new academic generation that has a deep understanding of the interplay between atmospheric flow physics and turbulence, while at the same time being able to develop innovative industrial applications and products from the scientific findings. To this end, doctoral students are specifically supported with scholarships. AptWind pursues specific scientific questions: Four key research questions address, among other things, the effects of relevant flow events on rotors of wind turbines with an output of more than 15 MW or the improvement of numerical simulations.

AptWind ensures that a new generation of scientific specialists are not only well trained in the field of atmospheric flow physics, which is important for understanding wind energy, but also ensures that scientists are well networked with each other and with industry. As a result, scientific findings will quickly find application in industry.
