Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT This paper provides improvements to a previously presented simple, accurate, lower order analytical model for predicting the performance of horizontal‐axis shrouded turbines for a wide range of shroud airfoil shapes varying in length, camber, and thickness. The new, extended model incorporates explicit quantitative predictions of those effects

Boundary Layer Separation and Reattachment Detection on Airfoils by Thermal Flow Sensors
Sensors, 2012 A sensor concept for detection of boundary layer separation (flow separation, stall) and reattachment on airfoils is introduced in this paper. Boundary layer separation and reattachment are phenomena of fluid mechanics showing characteristics of ...

Idealized Offshore Low‐Level Jets for Turbine Structural Impact Considerations
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Low‐level jets (LLJs) describe conditions in which the wind speed reaches a local maximum with respect to altitude near the surface; they have been observed intermittently in the US mid‐Atlantic offshore environment. LLJs pose unique operating conditions for future wind turbines operating in the region, such as negative shear and locally ...

Non‐Linear Reduced Order Modelling of Transonic Potential Flows for Fast Aerodynamic Analysis
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 2, 30 January 2026.ABSTRACT This work presents a physics‐based reduced order modelling (ROM) framework for the efficient simulation of steady transonic potential flows around aerodynamic configurations. The approach leverages proper orthogonal decomposition and a least‐squares Petrov‐Galerkin (LSPG) projection to construct intrusive ROMs for the full potential equation ...

One‐Dimensional Finite Elements With Arbitrary Cross‐Sectional Displacement Fields
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 1, 15 January 2026.ABSTRACT This paper introduces an unprecedented unified approach for developing structural theories with an arbitrary kinematic variable over the beam cross‐section. Each of the three displacement variables can be analyzed using an independent expansion function. Both the order of the expansion and the number of terms in each field can be any. That is,
