Research program High Fidelity Modeling and Data Assimilation in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer:
We specialize in simulating the atmospheric boundary layer for applications including siting wind energy
powerplants and modeling atmospheric trasport and dispersion. Tools include high fidelity computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) models, mesoscale numerical weather prediction (NWP) models, artificial intelligence
techniques, and ability to partner with local experimental facilities
Research facilities available Computational Clusters - Research CFD and Mesoscale Models; Exceptional
Graduate Students; Large Water Tunnel with 1.3 m test section; Several Smaller Water Tunnels; Instrumented
Field Sites
Research partners needed Wind turbine blade designers - Sensor experts; Population dynamics modelers;
Computer system optimization experts; Environmental impact specialists; Wind turbine experimentalists
