The wake of a model wind turbine exposed to freestream turbulence (FST) with a variety of turbulent characteristics is studied through Particle Image Velocimetry experiments.

ARTEMIS observations of electrostatic shocks inside the lunar wake
When the solar wind encounters the Moon, a plasma void forms downstream of it, known as the lunar wake. In regions where the magnetic field is quasi-parallel to the plasma-vacuum boundary normal, plasma refills the wake primarily along magnetic field lines. As faster electrons outpace slower ions, an ambipolar electric field is generated, accelerating ions and decelerating electrons. Recent particle-in-cell simulations have shown that when accelerated supersonic ion beams from opposite sides of…

Yeah, I watch DR Z, and I know you know, even from my own apartment.
Go to sleep, wake him up just to tell him I’m cute. I see you watching, too.

Plasma refilling of the lunar wake: plasma-vacuum interactions, electrostatic shocks, and electromagnetic instabilities
A plasma void forms downstream of the Moon when the solar wind impacts the lunar surface. This void gradually refills as the solar wind passes by, forming the lunar wake. We investigate this refilling process using a fully kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. The early stage of refilling follows plasma-vacuum interaction theory, characterized by exponential decay of plasma density into the wake, along with ion acceleration and cooling in the expansion direction. Our PIC simulation confirm…

Science for Peace and the need for Civil Clauses at universities and civilian research institutions
After the end of World War II, the commitment to confine scientific activities in universities and research institutions to peaceful and civilian purposes has entered, in the form of {\it Civil Clauses}, the charters of many research institutions and universities. In the wake of recent world events, the relevance and scope of such Civil Clauses has been questioned in reports issued by some governments and by the EU Commission, a development that opens the door to a possible blurring of the dist…

Extensional rheology of dilute suspensions of spheres in polymeric liquids
The extensional rheology of dilute suspensions of spheres in viscoelastic or polymeric liquids is studied computationally. At low polymer concentration (c) and Deborah number (De), a wake of highly stretched polymers forms downstream of the particles due to larger local velocity gradients than the imposed flow, indicated by a positive deviation in local De. This increases the suspension's extensional viscosity with time and De for De less than 0.5. When De exceeds 0.5 (the coil-stretch transiti…

Symbolic Regression-Enhanced Dynamic Wake Meandering: Fast and Physically Consistent Wind-Turbine Wake Modeling
Accurately modeling wind turbine wakes is essential for optimizing wind farm performance but remains a persistent challenge. While the dynamic wake meandering (DWM) model captures unsteady wake behavior, it suffers from near-wake inaccuracies due to empirical closures. We propose a Symbolic Regression-enhanced DWM (SRDWM) framework that achieves equation-level closure by embedding symbolic expressions for volumetric forcing and boundary terms explicitly into governing equations. These physicall…

Studying propagating turbulent structures in the near wake of a sphere using Hilbert proper orthogonal decomposition
Turbulent flows, despite their apparent randomness, exhibit coherent structures that underpin their dynamics. Proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) has been widely used to extract these structures from experimental data. While periodic features like vortex shedding can be identified using POD mode pairs when periodicity dominates the flow, detecting such structures in complex flows is more challenging. The Hilbert proper orthogonal decomposition (HPOD) addresses this by applying POD to the anal…

Trump governs today in the wake of the near-complete dismantling of checks and balances on the executive branch -- at least in the foreign policy and national security realm.
Since the 9/11 attacks, Congress has granted the presidency more and more power over foreign affairs
and declined to take any of it back,
and the Supreme Court has been reluctant to provide any meaningful restraints.
Trump inherited an ever-expanding national security apparatus that operates wi…

Perpendicular rod wake/aerofoil interaction: microphone array and TR-PIV insights via SPOD and beamforming analysis
This paper investigates the acoustic and velocity fields due to a circular rod and an aerofoil placed in the wake of, and perpendicular to, a rod. Simultaneous measurements were conducted using a microphone array and time-resolved particle image velocimetry (TR-PIV). The interaction was characterized through acoustic spectra and the coherence between microphone signals and the three velocity components. Coherent structures were identified with Spectral Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (SPOD) usi…

Investigation of the effects of superhydrophobic surface treatment on the dynamics of the flow in the near wake of a sphere using spatial dynamic mode decomposition
Viscous drag results from the fluid at a surface having zero relative velocity, a phenomenon known as the no-slip condition. Superhydrophobic surfaces, when submerged in water, trap a layer of air in their surface texture, partially replacing the liquid-solid interface with a liquid-gas interface. This air layer, called the plastron, results in partial slip at the surface, thereby reducing the viscous drag. In turbulent flows, large fluctuations in pressure and velocity can deplete or completel…

Reinforcement Learning Increases Wind Farm Power Production by Enabling Closed-Loop Collaborative Control
Traditional wind farm control operates each turbine independently to maximize individual power output. However, coordinated wake steering across the entire farm can substantially increase the combined wind farm energy production. Although dynamic closed-loop control has proven effective in flow control applications, wind farm optimization has relied primarily on static, low-fidelity simulators that ignore critical turbulent flow dynamics. In this work, we present the first reinforcement learnin…
