  Leibniz Universität Hannover

  Feb 2009 - Apr 2012

  Research Assistant

  Conducted CFD studies alongside experimental investigations on installation problems ofoffshore wind turbines at intermediate water depth. Investigations focused on interactions ofmonopiles with ocean current and waves leading to hugely sediment erosion around the windpiers. Extensive research dedicated to designing and verification of a fairing mechanism toprevent sediment erosion around offshore wind monopiles. Experiments were conducted withPIV, ADV, and in-house techniques. Numerical studies were done in OpenFOAM environment. Weniger anzeigen
