Wind‐Induced Hypolimnetic Upwelling Between the Multi‐Depth Basins of Lake Geneva During Winter: An Overlooked Deepwater Renewal Mechanism?

David Andrew Barry, Ulrich Lemmin, Rafael Sebastian Reiss

Combining field observations, 3D hydrodynamic modeling, and particle tracking, we investigated wind-induced interbasin exchange between the Petit Lac (PL) (depth 75 m) and Grand Lac (GL) (depth 309 m) basins of Lake Geneva in early winter. Following a stro ...

Risk assessment of waterborne viruses for recreational sites in Lake Geneva

Tamar Kohn, Xavier Fernandez Cassi, Chaojie Li, Timothy R. Julian

Norovirus is the most acute species among the viruses studied according to the simulations while enterovirus poses the least danger. The relative distance to the contamination sources, wind conditions as well as inactivation rates are essential in determin ...

Numerical Weather Prediction and Artificial Neural Network Coupling for Wind Energy Forecast

Fernando Porté Agel, Jiannong Fang, Lorenzo Donadio

In the past two decades, wind energy has been under fast development worldwide. The dramatic increase of wind power penetration in electricity production has posed a big challenge to grid integration due to the high uncertainty of wind power. Accurate real ...

Quantifying the impacts of urban morphology on modifying microclimate conditions in extreme weather conditions

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Kavan Javanroodi, Vahid Moussavi Nik

It is well-known that the morphology of urban areas modifies the variations of climate variables at microscale; known as microclimate conditions. The complexity of urban morphology can lead to undesired wind conditions or excessive air temperature; particu ...

Experimental investigation and analytical modelling of active yaw control for wind farm power optimization

Fernando Porté Agel, Haohua Zong

In this study, the physics and effectiveness of active yaw control under various wind conditions are investigated systematically, based on wind tunnel experiments and a new analytical wind farm model. The power and wake velocity measurements of a three-row ...

Numerical Framework for Aerodynamic Characterization of Wind Turbine Airfoils: Application to Miniature Wind Turbine WiRE-01

Fernando Porté Agel, Tristan Revaz, Mou Lin

A numerical framework for the aerodynamic characterization of wind turbine airfoils is developed and applied to the miniature wind turbine WiRE-01. The framework is based on a coupling between wall-resolved large eddy simulation (LES) and application of th ...

Effect of aspect ratio on vertical-axis wind turbine wakes

Fernando Porté Agel, Sina Shamsoddin

Variability of the rotor aspect ratio is one of the inherent characteristics of vertical-axis wind turbines (VAWTs) which differentiates them especially from the more conventional horizontal-axis wind turbines. In this study, we intend to investigate the e ...
