博士 是基于论文的博士学位。它非常注重研究，是打算从事研究，开发，研究管理或大学教学工作的学生的最终学位。对于希望在该领域从事学术，政府和/或行业研究的职业，拥有工程，物理科学或数学硕士学位的个人来说，这是一个很棒的计划。博士生必须满足核心要求。除核心要求中指定的要求以外，研究生课程要求由候选人的博士委员会根据个人情况确定。通常，博士学位没有指定的学分数量。但是，学生通常会获得MS学位以外的至少24个课程学分。
Our research focuses on the areas of wind turbine aerodynamics and rotorcraft aeromechanics. Current activities include wind farm wake modeling, icing on wind turbines, wind turbine design and analysis, rotor hub flows, and rotor active control. Our research group performs a high-fidelity Large Eddy Simulation of wind turbine arrays immersed in neutral and moderately-convective atmospheric boundary-layer flow. The computational grids of such simulations contain more than 30 million grid points and typically run on 512 CPUs. The objective of these simulations is to quantify turbulence statistics in the atmospheric boundary-layer flow and in the wakes of the wind turbines. Of particular interest are unsteady blade responses to the various coherent turbulent structures in the atmosphere and their effect on blade fatigue.
