But engineers have long realized that these formulas don\u2019t work in every situation. To compensate, they have added ad hoc \u201ccorrection factors\u201d based on empirical observations.<\/p>\n<p>Now, for the first time, engineers at MIT have developed a comprehensive, physics-based model that accurately represents the airflow around rotors even under extreme conditions, such as when the blades are operating at high forces and speeds, or are angled in certain directions. The model could improve the way rotors themselves are designed, but also the way wind farms are laid out and operated. The new findings are described today in the journal Nature Communications, in an open-access paper by MIT postdoc Jaime Liew, doctoral student Kirby Heck, and Michael Howland, the Esther and Harold E. Edgerton Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve developed a new theory for the aerodynamics of rotors,\u201d Howland says. This theory can be used to determine the forces, flow velocities, and power of a rotor, whether that rotor is extracting energy from the airflow, as in a wind turbine, or applying energy to the flow, as in a ship or airplane propeller. \u201cThe theory works in both directions,\u201d he says.
