Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulations of Wind Turbine Performance and Wake Characteristics
(2023-08-08)
In this work, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations are performed for three wind tunnel experiments, i.e., the NREL S826 airfoil experiment, the NTNU BT1 experiment, and the NTNU BT2 experiment by using two in-house ...
Assessing the Impacts of Land Use Change on Mammals in a Social-Ecological System: Conservation Implications for Biodiversity and Livelihoods in Monteverde, Costa Rica
(2022-07-25)
Biodiversity decline is occurring at an unprecedented rate, with land-use change as a leading driver. Biodiversity loss reduces ecosystem functioning, which also negatively affects human societies whose livelihoods are ...
