Just published in Wind Energy: the AMR-Wind paper! This describes and showcases the research software -- covering the theory, numerical framework, verification, and validation, plus a 12-turbine wind farm simulation.

The final paper from my PhD, "A numerical study of an atomizing jet in a resonant acoustic field," is getting published! https://t.co/AZWQOncYCz
Relieved to have this done, but this has just been a footnote compared to becoming a dad two weeks ago!

In St. Mary’s, Alaska, distributed #WindEnergy is a small miracle. Thanks to a 4-year, multilab project working to reduce the communities dependence on fuel, St. Mary’s is already saving about $355,000 in fuel costs. 💪 Learn more about small miracles: https://t.co/54brTMbFNP

Florida sits on a huge slab of limestone that creates an abundance of freshwater springs and a large quantity of underwater caves that fish shoaling can make look magical.

New preprint! Very excited about this one. "Generating Initial Conditions for Ensemble Data Assimilation of Large-Eddy Simulations with Latent Diffusion Models" https://t.co/6PYPK81LwI

Pleased to announce the publication of a new multiphase methods paper in Computers and Fluids! Essential to stably and accurately simulating waves within the performance-portable, open-source code of AMR-Wind. 1st paper of mine purely from NREL funds. https://t.co/tiDydvAcKW #cfd

@bkspears9 I'm confused on the energy output with these numbers, but maybe I'm oversimplifying things. Power * time = 1e16 * 100e-12 = only 1 million Joules of output?

Quite an interesting urban wind energy concept!

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Designed by The Archimeded ‘LIAM F1 UWT is a new generation of wind turbine for domestic use capable of generating an average of 1,500 kilowatt-hours of energy with a wind speed of 5 m/s—enough for a family home

Any #AMReX users out there? Just wanna say that the fcompare tool is super helpful, for both measuring accuracy and debugging.

The NAWEA/Windtech conference was a great experience. Privileged to be recognized as the best talk in my track, titled "Applying CFD-based wave basins to accurately simulate the open ocean for offshore wind applications" #windenergy #offshorewind

After working as a kite maker for over 30 years, Feng Tsan Huang of Taiwan has created his masterpiece: the bike kite. It's 2 meters tall and weighs just 0.8 kg, thanks to carbon fiber beam and polyester panels [source: https://t.co/yIxWTfTsHB]

The NAWEA/WindTech conference is almost here! 2 reasons I'm excited for this event:
- my 1st wind energy conference
- organizing the Graduate Student Symposium, focused on publishing, research challenges, & career development

New preprint out w/ @Khalloufi_Me on the drag force of compressible flows through assemblies of particles. Increasing volume fraction is found to both increase drag and decrease the critical Mach number where compressibility dominates. @NASA funded https://t.co/sfgaEKgdcs

Sometimes farming and renewable energy can be at odds with each other. The concept of "agrivoltaics" is a cool way to ensure land can be employed in both ways: https://t.co/A5Q3xVKk2y

@jesse_caps I always loved all the interesting fluid dynamics available to see in Ithaca.
