ARROW SEA Day 4
“These equations look intimidating…. because they are”. Luckily, Umberto Ciri, Lu Wang, and Atharva Sathe are excellent educators who were able to break down complicated topics like optimizing wind farm wake effects, hydrodynamic wake upwelling, and boundary layer turbulence modeling …
ARROW faculty Dr. Julie Lundquist presents “New Insights Into Atmosphere-Energy Interactions via Virtual Lidar and Multiscale Modeling” at Brookhaven National Labs
When wind passes through a turbine, it spins the blades, transferring energy from the atmosphere to the machine and eventually to powering our homes. As the wind moves past those spinning blades, the once smooth flow becomes a turbulent mix …
