Wider spacing leads to greater farm efficiency according to CFD study
Conventional wisdom says to space wind turbines about seven rotor diameters apart to keep rotor wash from interfering with other turbines. But after a few fluid flow simulations and lab experiments, researchers at Johns Hopkins and Belgium’s Katholik Leuven University say that conventional wisdom needs an upgrade. “Optimal spacing between individual wind turbines is actually a little farther apart than what people use these days,” said Johns Hopkins’ Charles Meneveau. A little farther means 15 diameters. Why so much more?

FEA Aids Deepwater Horizon Failure Forensics
On the evening of April 20, 2010, Deepwater Horizon suffered a blowout while drilling in the Macondo Prospect, an area in the Gulf of Mexico 40 miles off the southeast coast of Louisiana. The platform caught fire; two days later, it sank. Many attempts were made to seal the well, but oil continued to spew into the Gulf until July 15, when a temporary cap was put in place. Relief wells then pumped concrete into the area underneath the wellhead, and the well was deemed permanently sealed in mid-September.
