Enhanced bed shear stress and mixing in the tidal wake of an offshore wind turbine monopile by M. J. Austin, C. A. Unsworth, K. J. J. Van Landeghem, B. J. Lincoln

“…This research provides some valuable insight as OWFs expand into deeper seasonally stratified waters using both bottom-fixed and floating structures, where the addition of enhanced wake turbulence may have broad impacts as the additional mixing energy is added to regions with low rates of background mixing.…”

A Numerical Investigation on the Aeroacoustic Noise Emission from Offshore Wind Turbine Wake Interference by Yan Yan, Lei Xue, Jundong Wang, Zhichao Yang, Yu Xue

“…The numerical simulation results indicate that wake deficit reduces the total noise emission by about 6 dBA in the overall sound pressure level (OASPL) at 8 m/s, while wake turbulence marginally increases it and its fluctuation. …”

Numerical Study of the Effect of Rail Modelling Method on Train Aerodynamic Performance and Slipstream by Y. Ma, J. Zhang, J. Shi, Y. Cao

“…In the present study, a sliding mesh technique was employed to comparatively examine the impact of different track configurations—trackless, track-only, and track with a fastening system—on the aerodynamic characteristics, slipstream formation, and wake turbulence induced by trains. The results indicate that the tracks and the fastening system increased the drag force coefficient by 0.73% and 2.05%, respectively, compared with no track. …”

Modelling and Analysis of Autonomous Airport Surface Movement Operations based on Multi-Agent Planning by Malte von der Burg, Alexei Sharpanskykh

“…The model incorporates the decisive processes and elements of airport surface movement operations such as pushback, engine-start, inbound and outbound holding, compliance to CTOT-slots, and wake turbulence separation for takeoffs. To compute conflict-free trajectories for all taxiing agents, we tailored and extended state-of-the-art multi-agent motion planning algorithms: the two-level routing algorithm combines Priority-Based Search (PBS) with Safe Interval Path Planning (SIPP). …”
