Summary Of Position
As part of a multi-institutional collaborative DOE EPSCoR project, the University of New Hampshire ( UNH ) is seeking a Postdoctoral Research Associate to conduct experiments in the UNH Flow Physics Facility ( FPF ) with application to floating offshore wind energy. The FPF , the world’s largest physics-quality, low-speed boundary layer wind tunnel, affords unprecedented opportunities for reliably quantifying turbine-wake/boundary-layer-turbulence interactions. The successful candidate will work with Dr. Christopher White and Dr. Martin Wosnik at UNH and collaborate closely with modeling and simulation research partners at Brown University and Bates College as well as with colleagues at UNH carrying out modeling and simulation and field studies of the marine atmospheric boundary layer ( MABL ).

The Postdoctoral Researcher Will
- Contribute to the design and execution of experiments in the FPF with a focus on (a) detailed flow measurements around a turbine and a model wind farm array, (b) the very far-field evolution of a turbine wake, and © fluid-structure interaction when the turbine is immersed within a turbulent boundary layer;
- Interface with our modeling and research partners to identify and measure experimental data needed for model benchmarking and validation;
- Lead the dissemination of results of the research effort via conference presentations and journal publications.
