A new model accurately represents the airflow around rotors, even under extreme conditions. The first comprehensive model of rotor aerodynamics could improve the way turbine blades and wind farms are ...

The blades of propellers and wind turbines are designed based on aerodynamics principles that were first described mathematically more than a century ago. But engineers have long realized that these ...

A collaboration between University of Wyoming researchers and a wind energy company has provided new insights into the use of high-performance computing to predict wind resources. A team led by ...

The turbulence created by wind farms can mix layers of air near the surface, altering temperatures downwind. But a properly designed turbine can both avoid this mixing and increase the efficiency of ...

AES Corp. has announced the start of commercial operations for phase one of the Chevelon Butte wind farm in Arizona, a project sited on one of the state’s oldest working cattle ranches. AES on June 1 ...
