Enhancing Wind-Farm Performance Via Unsteady Fluid Mechanics
FBO–EHA 101 Bevier Road, Piscataway, NJ, United StatesSpeaker: Nathaniel Wei, University of Pennsylvania Abstract: Modern wind turbines, like aircraft and other aerodynamic structures, are typically designed with the assumption that the flows they encounter will be uniform and steady. However, atmospheric flows are highly unsteady, and systems operating within them must contend with gust disturbances that can lead to performance losses and structural damage. In this talk, we ...
