Wind Farm Comprssible Flow!
Locked
 
|
I didn't know that wind turbines experienced compressible flow. This makes all my papers and books on the subject wrong, although the operating turbines designed by my codes don't seem to know this! I would like to correct them. Can anyone provide reports on compressible flow in wind farms?

It's unclear what the claim is from that press release. I asked one of the authors for their slides. ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College lectures, archives, unsubscribe, maps at http://www.friam.org |

Ok. It's unfair for your smart people to tease us dumb ones.
Is air a compressible medium or not?

Sure. Think about tires. Air is compressed in them. By the way, those who advocate filling tires with Nitrogen sometimes conveniently forget that our atmosphere is already 78% Nitrogen. It makes a slight advantage in racing tires, but most of us run with underinflated tires anyway. It's one of the cheapest and easiest ways to boost fuel efficiency - make sure your tires have the proper amount of compressed air. - Claiborne Booker - -----Original Message-----
