Response, Aero- elasticity, Control and Hydrodynamics
Our ambition is develop precise loads and response predictions for next generation wind turbines. By research in advanced aero-elasticity, tailored control and distinct hydrodynamics we can assess and optimise the turbine performance from land based to floating concepts.
Our scientific core is aero-elasticity, control and hydrodynamics. We develop and maintain the HAWC2 suite which integrates this knowledge into rational Engineering software. Our application studies involve load analysis for floating wind turbines, aero-elastic stability and controller design.
Competences
- Multi-body modelling, reduced-order models and dynamic analysis
