I studied the film-cooling of a high-temperature turbine in an real-world aeroengine, using a self-programmed Navier-Stokes solver (More details to come), and I simulated the wind flows around a three-blade horizontal axis wind turbine using ANSYS. This work led to my Best-Thesis Award.
Wind energy is another kind of clean, renewable and sustainable energy resource. The installed wind energy capacity was 318.1 GW worldwide in 2013, and has been growing recently. (efficiency, deicing, and noise... work to come)
