Consider the inside of a typical wind turbine nacelle. It will contain a gearbox, electrical controls, a generator, hub mounting, blade controls, and several other major systems. In the case of ...

Simulation of wind flows around the model of Austin’s 321 West 6th Street illustrates the E-SE wind direction that resulted in the largest cross-wind response on the 58-story high-rise. The hotter the ...

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 ...

In this special guest feature, Robert Roe from Scientific Computing World writes that HPC simulation provides a platform to develop advancements in energy generation technologies. Through the use of ...

When Hurricane Dorian and its 185 mph winds mauled the Bahamas in 2019, it was a wake-up call for disaster researchers. As the strongest hurricane on record to hit east of Florida in the Atlantic, ...

In an RL-based control system, the turbine (or wind farm) controller is realized as an agent that observes the state of the ...

Launched on November 2nd, the crowdfunding campaign for ZephVR, a VR fan accessory that “adds realistic wind at the right moments” achieved its $30,000 goal on Kickstarter in just a few hours, with 30 ...

The multi-fan wind tunnel is controlled by a 64 inertia array (8x8) of small axial fans. These fans can be controlled individually or in groups using the the supplied software. Each individual fan can ...
