New Model for Wind Turbine Blade Design
CEE Professor Luca Caracoglia, in collaboration with the University of Massachusetts Amherst, was awarded a $704,942 NSF grant for “Modeling the Influence of Turbulence on Flow-Induced Instabilities of Large Flexible Structures With Innovative Applications in Wind Turbine Blades.” Caracoglia will focus on the stochastic modeling side, while the UMass team will focus on experimental validation at various scales.
