REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. — When could a computer simulation substitute for a wind tunnel or flight test? It is the hot topic today in research and development circles. And there are many spirited ...

Predicting the weather is a science, but it’s not a perfect science. Wind, in particular, is hard to nail down. Truly reliable predictions extend just days in advance---weeks, at most. Foretelling ...

The rapid development of wind energy has raised concerns about environmental impacts. Temperature changes are found in the vicinity of wind farms and previous simulations have suggested that ...

In 2017 wind generated 6.3% of the United States’s electricity, according to the US Energy Information Administration. If the nation can use its abundant wind resources to generate 30% of its electric ...

At the present time, power generations use the fossil fuel, which emits the carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This paper presents the model and simulation of Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) ...

Jane Housley, a BYU mathematics graduate and wildfire modeling researcher, developed a faster, smarter way to predict how wind moves through fire-prone terrain. Her work could help firefighters ...

In this special guest feature from Scientific Computing World, Gemma Church writes that the aerospace industry is stuck in the past – but it isn’t due to a lack of new simulation and modeling ...
