M.Sc - PG
3–6 Months
Masters of Science Programes
The course introduces students to the fundamentals of aerodynamic loads acting on wind turbine rotors and their implications for turbine design and operation. It covers airfoil and blade aerodynamics, flow topology, wake structures, and unsteady aerodynamic effects in two- and three-dimensional flows. Students learn the Blade Element Momentum (BEM) method for modelling aerodynamic forces, as well as flow control techniques to improve aerodynamic efficiency. The course also addresses support structures, hydrodynamic loads, hydrostatics of floating structures, and environmental interactions with offshore systems. Laboratory classes provide hands-on training in analyzing aerodynamic and hydrodynamic loads on wind turbine components and floating offshore platforms.
To provide students with theoretical knowledge and practical skills in fluid dynamics and aeroelasticity for the analysis and design of wind turbines and offshore support structures.
