Description
PhD / R&D Engineer (H/F) – Aerodynamic Simulation / CFD (WFR-CFDA)
We are currently recruiting an R&D Doctor (M/F) expert in numerical simulation applied to fluid mechanics, structural mechanics, and fluid-structure interactions to, in conjunction with a multidisciplinary team, design, manufacture and test an airborne wind energy system.
Created in 2021 and after several years of R&D, our client wishes to revolutionize the world of wind energy by harnessing higher altitude winds which are stronger and more persistent. Their patented technology, lighter-than-air, twin rotating cylinders makes it possible to efficiently capture the mechanical energy of the wind to transmit it via ropes to a ground station for conversion into electricity.
The company offers a new, higher altitude wind energy system perfectly adapted to moderately windy and/or difficult-to-access sites, where conventional wind turbines do not meet the needs of operators and of the local population. Their products efficiently capture wind energy at greater heights than conventional wind turbines, which makes it possible to double electricity production and reduce the cost by more than 50% compared to a wind turbine of the same power, with less environmental impact, thus opening up a global market estimated at more than €200 billion.
Labeled Deep Tech, supported by Bpifrance and the accelerator Techstars Sustainability Paris, winner of the 2023 Cleantech Open France competition, and backed by academic collaborations, the company (7 people) is in full development and is currently working on the proof of concept which will serve as a springboard to design and test the first 100 kW commercial prototype.
Description of the job:
The company wishes to integrate an R&D expertise in CFD and numerical structure calculation in order to contribute to the development and improvement of prototypes and thus meet the challenges of optimal production of electrical energy.
Your main missions will consist of:
Estimating by numerical simulation the aerodynamic coefficients of the Magnus effect (lift, drag, side force, three moments according to the principal axes) as a function of the wind speed and the different shape and dynamic parameters: elongation, rotation speed, spacing, etc.
Validating the numerical prototype with experimental data
Carrying out parametric simulation campaigns
Optimizing the aerodynamic performance of the system
Modeling the fluid-structure interaction (structural analysis by finite elements)
Modeling the wake effect in an airborne wind farm
