PhD position:Fluid-Structure Interactions in Hydraulic Turbine - Montreal Canada

A fully funded PhD thesis project is available at Polytechnique Montreal on Fluid-Structure Interactions in hydraulic turbines. 

This project is to be done in collaboration with Université Laval in Québec city where a fully instrumented test turbine is available. The thesis is part of a large research consortium involving two universities and the major industrial players in the design and operation of large hydraulic turbines in the province of Quebec (Andritz Hydro, EDF, General Electric, Hydro Québec, Voith Hydro).

The thesis is mostly analytical and numerical in nature, but it is to be done in tight integration with other students with more experimentally oriented projects.
