About Technical University of Denmark:
When the College of Advanced Technology was founded in 1829, Denmark had its first MSc programme in Engineering at a high academic level. The College changed its name to Danish Technical College in 1933 and finally became the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) in 1994. DTU has always had a strong theoretical grounding. H.C. Ørsted, the man who discovered electromagnetism, founded the College in the image of École Polytechnique in France. The objective was to educate young men to work in industry, but in the beginning DTU was not able to teach practice, so the college mainly educated technical teachers.

Details:
The scholarship’s will play an integral part of the project: Marine Structures of the Future, financed by the Danish Council for Technology and Innovation through a corporation with the GTS-institute DHI. The background for the project is the extensive development of coastal and offshore areas due to implementation of offshore wind turbines, aquaculture, impact of climate changes on coastal structures and large scale dredging operations that will take place in connection with these developments but also in connection with construction of bridges and submerged tunnels.

Subject 1:
Stability of stone covers One of the most important failure mechanisms in stone covers like for instance breakwaters and scour protection is edge failure. The failure can be caused by (1) a combination of geotechnical instability and edge erosion, (2) due to migration of large scale morphology, or (3) liquefaction of the supporting soil. This study will focus on (1) and (3). To investigate these mechanisms extensive physical model experiments will be carried out and the mechanism will also be studied by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).
Subject 2:
Wave interaction with porous coastal structures
The effect of the porosity will be directly analyzed in physical model tests and through direct numerical simulation of the flow and turbulence between large stones. Hereby solid understanding of the flow inside a porous structure will be evaluated and the forces on the single stones can be analysed. Further, the overtopping and transmission of waves shall be investigated in detail, also in cases with breaking wave impact.
Subject 3:
Deposition, consolidation and re-suspension of dredged material The deposition, consolidation and re-suspension of fine material (silt, and/or clay) in connection with dredging operations shall be investigated. This includes density effects on the flow and sedimentation of fine material (silt, and clay), and also consolidation and re-suspension processes of the deposited material. As part of the study a detailed numerical model based on CFD will be developed and used to investigate the initial spreading and deposition of dredged material.

Eligibility:
The successful candidates should have a master’s degree in hydraulic or coastal engineering with experience, preferably at the Master Thesis level, on some of the following subjects; wave-structure interaction, free-surface flows, sediment transport, density currents, numerical analyses, and physical model tests. Both newly graduated as well as candidates from industry are welcome to apply for the positions

Approval and Enrollment:
The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general require-ments for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide.

Salary:
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD students at DTU. Candidates may apply prior to obtaining their master’s degree, but cannot start the PhD studies before the master’s degree has been received.

Scholarship Description:The PhD scholarship is integrated in a project called “COOEE – CO2 emission reduction by exploitation of rolling resistance modelling of pavements”. The transport sector contributes with more than 20% of the total emission of CO2 and therefore there is a huge potential in even small reductions of the energy consumption of cars. Reducing the rolling resistance is one of the ways to reduce emissions. The COOEE project will attack the challenge from various angles: development of advanced models for deterioration and aging of pavements, development of new devices for measuring rolling resistance on the road network and development of novel pavement that is optimized with respect to rolling resistance. All these disciplines will be integrated in the road asset management system of the Danish Road Directorate.

Qualifications:
Candidates must hold a master degree in civil engineering –with a specialization relevant to the project in question – or similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree. Preferably the candidate has an academic track record and previous research experience.

Approval and Enrolment:
The scholarships for the PhD degree are subject to academic approval, and the candidates will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes of DTU. For information about the general requirements for enrolment and the general planning of the scholarship studies, please see the DTU PhD Guide.

Salary and appointment terms:
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years.

The objective was to educate young men to work in industry, but in the beginning DTU was not able to teach practice, so the college mainly educated technical teachers.

Detail:
Wind power technology, the most competitive renewable energy technology, is quickly developing. The size of individual wind turbine continues to grow and the penetration of wind power into power grid is increasing rapidly. Consequently, the impact of wind turbines on electric power security and quality becomes more and more important and presents great challenges and demands on wind turbine performance. In order to provide reliable and high quality power, the wind turbine should be appropriately designed and controlled to present the desired characteristics. Clearly, good modelling and simulation techniques are cost-effective methods to investigate the wind turbine performance and to optimize the design and control of wind turbines.

Objective of PhD. project
Many of the problems of gearboxes and bearings encountered in wind turbines of today originate from a lack of detailed knowledge of the transient load through the drive train of the wind turbine. The project aims to develop a modelling tool, which can be used to simulate various wind turbine systems, study the effects of various key components and their variations on the system performance.
The main task is to analyse the transient loadings in a complete drive train, including the gearbox and the generator.
Specific points are:
1.Establish data for rotor and drive train
2.Modelling of rotor and drive train
3.Interaction with other subsystems
4.Model evaluation and verification

Qualifications:
Candidates should have a master’s degree in mechanical engineering or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to the master’s degree in mechanical engineering. Candidates with prior knowledge in machine elements and wind turbines technology are preferred.

Salary:
The salary and appointment terms are consistent with the current rules for PhD degree students. The period of employment is 3 years.

How To Apply:
Please open the link “apply for this job online (”søg stillingen online”) in the grey bar below and fill in the application form and attach your application, CV and information about academic grades. Applications must include documentation of a completed master’s degree in mechanical engineering. All interested candidates irrespective of age, gender, race, religion or ethnic background are encouraged to apply.
