‘Numerical simulation of wind turbines’ 

This short presentation will cover some of the simulation activities carried out at the CFD laboratory of Glasgow related to wind turbines (WT). There are three parts in the presentation: Tools, WT performance and design, and WT impact on aviation. Current work is aiming to resolve the flow around the wind turbines using real-time computing to allow for specific studies related to safety of operations near WT farms, as well as to support planning of new WT farms near inhabited areas or airports. Further work with the UK CAA is focussing on wake encounter issues and the overall impact of WTs on aviation.

 

Dr Inge Sorensen, School of Culture & Creative Arts

‘A Sustainable Screen Sector in Scotland – and beyond’

I research the intersections between the film and TV industry and environmental sustainability, with a particular focus on sustainable production practices on and off set. I am keen to collaborate with anyone interested in this area and lead the RSE-funded Sustainable Screen Scotland network which connects academic and experts with film and TV producers, production companies, journalists and news rooms. I am also interested in greening film and TV storylines and have developed the  Screen Carbon Test that allows viewers to rate the climate credentials of their favourite film and TV shows.

 

Stephan Von Delft, Adam Smith Business School

‘Clean Technologies for Sustainable Transport: Hydrogen-Powered Shipping and Circular Battery Value Chains’

My research focuses on the management of clean technologies, such as the co-assessment of costs and environmental impacts of energy storage technologies. I’m especially interested in collaborating with colleagues in chemistry and engineering on topics such as renewable energy sources, energy conversion and storage, and green transportation.
