For the first time, engineers at MIT have developed a comprehensive, physics-based model that accurately represents the airflow around rotors even under extreme conditions. The new model enables the ...

Mulling a problem with the positioning of wind turbines and the production decrease resulting from the turbulence within wind farms, the question has arisen whether they will ever be as valuable a ...
