IAP 2011 Activity


Optimal Design and Analysis of Energy Harvesting Turbines: Wind and Tidal Turbines
Sungho Lee
Fri Jan 21, 10am-12:00pm, 1-115

Enrollment limited: first come, first served
Limited to 23 participants.
Single session event

In this class I'll introduce the physics of wind and tide, teach about methods to analyze the flow field and power extraction, then go into optimizing the design of the wind and tidal turbines. The context of the teaching material will be designed such a way that half of the presentation covers the general understanding of the physics of the wind and tide and the other half focuses on practical implementation of those on optimal design of wind turbine blades and tidal turbine blades using the computational analysis tool that will be provided.
