Visualization and Analysis of Large-Scale Wind Turbine Array Simulations

Abstract

As the United States moves toward utilizing more of its wind and water resources for electrical power generation, computational modeling will play an increasingly important role in improving the performance, decreasing costs, and accelerating deployment of wind and water power technologies. We are developing computational models to better understand the wake effects of wind and marine hydrokinetic turbines. I will describe how we are developing and using visualization techniques to analyze the large-scale data resulting from these simulations.
