For the first time, engineers at MIT have developed a comprehensive, physics-based model that accurately represents the airflow around rotors even under extreme conditions. The new model enables the ...

Insight into wind turbine technologies and how they deal with extreme weather. Turbine safety features that help mitigate damage. What the future holds for wind turbine technology. Wind turbines in ...

While most of us don’t design aircraft or racing cars, it’s likely that we’re still fascinated by some of the aerodynamic studies behind them. But a full-sized wind tunnel is going to cost a small ...

The Experimental Aerodynamics Laboratory (xAERO Lab) is housed within the Wind Tunnel Building (WIND) on the CU Boulder East Campus and is a part of the Sustainability, Energy, & Environment Community ...

The blades of propellers and wind turbines are designed based on aerodynamics principles that were first described mathematically more than a century ago. But engineers have long realized that these ...
