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

Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.Abstract We present idealized 3‐D discrete element simulations exploring how varying boundary roughness and grain‐size distribution affect bulk granular‐rheology and basal‐force distributions. Boundary roughness has a direct control on the internal static friction coefficient.

Linearized Three‐Dimensional Planing in Deep and Shallow Water
International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 126, Issue 23, 15 December 2025.ABSTRACT The traditional analysis of three‐dimensional planing is studied in detail using potential‐flow theory together with linearized free‐surface conditions. The work is extended here to the case of water of finite depth. The planing surface is modeled as a traveling pressure distribution.
