"We call that the downwind thrust force and the root bending moment, and wind turbines must withstand that, too. You need to understand how large the total load is, which Glauert did not do." ...

A young student has revamped a century-old math problem and unlocked a simple, yet elegant solution to optimize wind turbine flow conditions and enhance power output. Divya Tyagi, an aerospace ...

A Penn State student refined a century-old math problem, originally published in 1935, that determines the optimal aerodynamic performance of a wind turbine. The student's work improves upon the ...

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 ...

Wind power gets set for huge thrust: Adjust font size: China's wind power installed capacity is expected to exceed 30,000 megawatts (mW) by the end of 2010, up from 12,000 mW last year, ...

Technicians inspect wind farm operations in Hinggan League, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, in May 2023. WANG ZHENG/FOR CHINA DAILY China's rural areas are gearing up for a wind energy boom on a ...

Some of the modern turbines have towers as tall as 650 feet, or nearly 200 meters, “which is twice the height of the Statue of Liberty,” Air Force Maj. Gen. Michael Lutton, who oversees all ...

Wind turbines spin near a missile launch site at Malmstrom Air Force Base in Geyser, Mont., in August. Turbines placed too close to the underground outposts make it dangerous for military ...
