Supervisors: Professor Mohamed Pourkashanian, Professor Lin Ma and Professor Derek Ingham. Wind turbine is the main technology that converts wind energy to electricity. The interaction between air ...

The Exascale Comuting Project’s ExaWind suite of computational fluid dynamics codes are designed to develop predictive simulations of wind farms that contain dozens of megawatt-class turbines spread ...

When comparing the efficiency of different wind turbine blade designs, [AdamEnt] found using a hair dryer wasn’t the best tool for the job. Enter his new 3D-printed wind tunnel. After several… ...

“Our CFD studies of shrouded and unshrouded units immediately revealed complex relationships between flow forces on the turbine and the transfer of energy and linear momentum,” says Grassman.

Wind turbines trounce birds, are considered an eyesore by some, and drone ceaselessly. ... Wind farms change the local weather by changing the air flow patterns around them.

This allows them to refine components, compare concepts, and make data-driven decisions faster and more efficiently than relying on physical testing alone.In practice, CFD replaces many early-stage ...

“He started off with iPad tools, using Force Effect Flow, a free app that lets you take a 2D photo and sketch a free-body diagram and develop a quick 2D profile to look at the air,” says Twerdok.

The government must increase the offshore wind pots in the next two Contracts for Difference (CfD) rounds by two thirds in order to meet its 2030 clean power target. That is according to new analysis ...

Although focused on water flow, the principles derived offer valuable guidance for aerodynamic optimisation in wind turbine systems [4]. Research from all publishers ...
