🎓Lattice-Boltzmann simulations for optimising trailing edge noise on wind turbine blades

Doctoral project at a glance

The expansion of wind turbines is essential for the energy transition. New materials and geometries are being researched to minimise noise emissions, particularly at the trailing edge of the blades. In his doctoral thesis, PHILIP SPELTEN is developing numerical optimisation methods for the development of quieter configurations using Lattice Boltzmann methods.
