Biography
I’m a graduate at the University of Utah pursuing my Master’s in Civil and Environmental Engineering with an emphasis in structures.
My research currently focuses on production of a characteristic box for a wind farm in LES to study a characteristic wake/flow around a wind turbine in a wind farm. Using this tool, different aspects like turbulence, flow characteristics, TKE and MKE budgets can be studied.
I’m also looking into a way to use LES wind data and study structural aspects of the wind turbine tower using a finite element tool. LES data can be later used to study new designs for more taller and efficient wind turbines.
