  • Characterization and optimization of a pico-hydro turbine system: The second project is comprised of CFD simulations and design optimization of a pico-hydro turbine in conjunction with characterization of various BLDC motors as generators.

There are multiple graduate students assigned to each project. The prospective PDF is expected to:

  • have a strong knowledge of fluid and heat transfer modelling.
