Renewable energy

Wind energy

Blade aerodynamics and wake analysis to understand performance, flow interaction and the influence of operating conditions.

THE ENGINEERING QUESTION

Connect local flow to energy performance.

A blade and its wake form one connected flow problem. We scope aerodynamic studies to examine loading, separation and wake development, selecting model fidelity to suit the question and the available evidence.

Questions we can help answer

How does the flow affect blade loading?
Where does separation influence performance?
How does the wake develop downstream?

DELIVERABLES

From analysis to action.

Loads and flow-field comparisons

Wake profiles and relevant performance measures

An interpretation of model sensitivity and design implications

LET’S WORK THROUGH IT

Let’s define your analysis.

A brief conversation can establish the question, the available information and a useful simulation scope.
