How to Master Hybrid Meshing for Wind Turbines

As the demand for green energy increases, so does the amount of effort spent in the research and development of more efficient designs. Horizontal axis wind turbines have become one of the largest sources of green energy. Due to their size and interactions with the surrounding environment, experimental testing is limited and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is heavily used. However, generating CFD meshes that can accurately capture the large range of flow-scales is a major challenge. During this webinar, you will learn how to save time creating reliable meshes on the Sandia National Lab CX100 horizontal axis wind turbine using Pointwise's hybrid techniques.

This video is a recording of a live webinar from 13 July 2011.
