2. Impact of Icing on Wind Turbines Aerodynamic
Abstract : Wind energy covered 11.6% of Europe electricity demand in 2017. Region with cold climates represent a strong potential for wind energy companies because of their sparse population and proper wind conditions. The global wind energy installations in cold climate regions is forecasted to reach a capacity of 186 GW by the end of 2020. READ MORE

3. Multimethod aerodynamic research of engine-realistic turbine rear structures
Abstract : Despite the significant advancements in aircraft engine technology over the past years, the aerodynamics of engine-realistic turbine rear structures (TRS) remain largely unexplored. The TRS, a structural and aerodynamic component situated downstream of the low-pressure turbine (LPT), plays a pivotal role in engine aerodynamic performance, deswirling the LPT flow to maximize the engine thrust.

5. In the wake of a bird - Quantifying aerodynamic performance of avian flight
Abstract : Flight is an expensive form of locomotion, but also offers the ability to travel great distances at relatively low cost. Birds have developed various adaptations for optimizing flight performance. The main aim of this thesis is to identify how morphological variables in birds affect aerodynamic drag and flight performance. READ MORE
