Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Yaw engineering models are commonly used as add‐ons to the industrial blade element momentum (BEM) framework to improve load and power predictions by accounting for the skewed wake effect. However, existing yaw engineering models show noticeable limitations in accurately predicting the induced velocity distribution across the blade span.

Energy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 4, Page 1935-1951, April 2026.This paper aims to provide a robust design approach for HAWTs operating in shear flow. This study fills a critical research gap by integrating BEM and vortex theories for blade design in non‐homogeneous inflow conditions. The authors of the paper made an effort to develop and test an experimentally unsophisticated model of a turbine working in shear ...

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, Volume 98, Issue 4, Page 448-468, April 2026.The proposed work implements a direct flux reconstruction method for spatial discretization and a stiffness‐resilient exponential time integration method for temporal discretization on the cube‐sphere grid. A space‐time tensor formalism is employed to provide a general representation in any curvilinear coordinate system. This combination enables highly

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.

Migration and Dispersion Evolution of Exhaled Aerosol in a Ward Under Different Ventilation Modes
Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 21, Issue 1, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT Wards with special functions and closure will have a higher risk of viral transmission as aerosols are an important mode of transmission for the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus. In this study, an experimental platform was built to establish the relevant parameters of the aerosol model and the aerosol propagation model according to the experimental results ...
