Development of Free Vortex Wake Model for Wind Turbine Aerodynamics under Yaw Condition [PDF]
, 2016 The aerodynamics of a wind turbine is governed by the flow around the rotor. One of the most severe operating conditions for a wind turbine is the yaw misalignment, when the mean upstream flow is not perpendicular to the rotor plane.

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.Transducers convert physical signals into electrical and optical representations, yet each mechanism is bounded by intrinsic trade‐offs across bandwidth, sensitivity, speed, and energy. This review maps transduction mechanisms across physical scale and frequency, showing how heterogeneous integration and multiphysics co‐design transform isolated ...

A Bottom‐Up Design Framework for Multifunctional Lattice Metamaterials
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study introduces a generative AI framework for designing multifunctional lattice metamaterials. The method combines 3D Gaussian voxel generation with deep learning, enabling greater design freedom and structural performance. The optimized lattice metamaterials achieve enhanced energy absorption by 40–200% compared to conventional structures and ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The unique lamellar structure of the eutectic alloy promotes selective oxidation of Al initially, while lattice distortion‐induced diffusion suppression slows oxide growth during steady state. Combining these strategies, a Multi‐Principal Element Alloy with excellent oxidation resistance at 1200℃ was designed.
