CONVERGE for Wind Energy

Wind energy is playing an increasingly important role as we transition to cleaner energy sources. In this course, we will demonstrate how to use CONVERGE to model wind energy applications. We will go through a recently developed modeling package that aims to streamline some of the biggest challenges in wind energy simulations. Specifically, we will cover how to model:

• Wind turbine rotors using both blade-resolved meshing techniques and actuator rotor models
• Floating offshore wind turbines, including wind-wave generation, fluid-structure interaction, and mooring systems
• Wind turbine aeroacoustics

*This session includes hands-on CONVERGE Studio practice.
