Profiel
Biography
Dr. Delphine De Tavernier is an assistant professor in the wind energy section at the faculty of Aerospace Engineering. Her research covers “large rotor flow physics”. With a focus on unravelling and leveraging bidirectional interactions between complex inflow phenomena and rotor response, she endeavours to advance aerodynamic modelling and design methodologies for the next-generation large wind turbines. Her research aims to go from realistic inflow conditions to a realistic turbine’s reaction (loads, performance and turbine operations), thereby reflecting on the wind turbine design. The research uses a holistic approach regarding scales (airfoil/rotor/wake) and methods (theory/computational/experimental).
Dr. De Tavernier earned her master's degree from Delft University of Technology in 2016, with a specialization in wind turbine aerodynamics. Subsequently, she pursued her doctoral studies at the same institution, with her PhD dissertation on the aerodynamics of vertical-axis wind turbines in 2021.
Beyond her research, Dr. De Tavernier exhibits a keen interest in fostering public engagement with the science and technology of wind energy.

Vormveranderende windturbines - een manier om meer energie te produceren in turbulente omgevingen
Vogels kunnen vakkundig navigeren in turbulente luchtstroming door hun vleugels en lichaam van vorm te veranderen. Steeds groter wordende, aerodynamisch aangedreven windturbines kunnen dit niet, ondanks hun toenemende gevoeligheid voor atmosferische turbulentie en variabele stroming langs de enorme wieken. Dit resulteert in ongewenste prestatieverliezen en onnodige belasting. Dit onderzoek zal bio-geïnspireerde vormveranderende technologie introduceren in de wieken als een manier om de complexe atmosferische omgeving in de tijd aan te voelen en hierop instantaan te reageren.
