Fluid physics simulations

High-performance computer calculations are used to understand the flow around wind turbine blades and in wind turbine wakes. We use high-resolution simulations that also account for small turbulent eddies. This allows us to study sensitive phenomena such as detachment on wind turbine blades and instabilities in the vortex structures in the wake. A better understanding of these phenomena is used to improve the modeling needed when designing wind turbines and planning wind farms.
