Overview
Join the RAPID-Wind project to develop next-generation adaptive finite element models for high-fidelity wave–structure interaction simulations in offshore wind foundations./nRAPID-Wind will develop a new computational modelling framework that enables high-fidelity simulations and real-time predictions by combining adaptive unfitted finite element methods, high-performance computing (HPC), and efficient surrogate models based on reduced-order modelling (ROM) and neural operators./nYou will focus on developing the essential numerical foundations for robust simulation of free-surface flows interacting with offshore structures of complex geometry, advance adaptive mesh refinement and immersed boundary techniques, and solve coupled fluid–structure interaction problems in free-surface flows./nYou will join the Computational Multiphysics in Offshore Engineering (CMOE) group and be co-supervised by Oriol Colomés and Alexander Heinlein, be part of the Offshore Engineering section in the Hydraulic Engineering Department, participate in group meetings, publish articles, present at conferences, and contribute to teaching and supervision activities within the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences at Delft University of Technology.
