Using the Expanse system at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC), part of the new UC San Diego School of Computing, Information and Data Sciences (SCIDS), University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez Mechanical Engineering Professor Umberto Ciri has taken a deep dive into understanding how waves affect offshore wind turbines. Applying a powerful method called large-eddy simulations (LES), Ciri has revealed new insights about how different types of waves—ranging from young, choppy waves to long, gentle swells—alter wind flows around offshore wind turbines that could help optimize power generation in ocean-based wind farms. He explained that the type of waves also affects how quickly the wind "wakes" up after passing a turbine: developed waves slow this wake recovery, while waves of intermediate age actually speed it up. This increase in turbulence near the rotor affects the turbine’s efficiency and durability, leading to more variability in power production and increased stress on the turbine blades. However, the study found that this turbulence doesn’t follow a simple pattern or align with the wave frequency – suggesting that the impact of waves is more complex and dispersed over different frequencies. https://ow.ly/KUik50Ut2pN UC San Diego #Supercomputing #WindEnergy #SDSC #UCSD #SustainableEnergy
