A new scientific paper, in a shorter format.
In our latest blog, we explain how protective shields affect airflow over wind turbine blades and how their design can reduce aerodynamic losses.

Over 1,100 datasets from 27 organisations, searchable by topic, terrain, organisation and physical variables. This is WindLab:
How reliably can current aerodynamic models predict the performance of eroded wind turbine blades? The answer is in our new blog:

This work began with six aerofoils developed by DTU, CENER and Fraunhofer IWES. Read our earlier post here: linkedin.com/posts/aire-projโฆ
After developing six aerofoils using three design methodologies, AIRE selected two for experimental testing.The 21% and 30% aerofoils have now been tested at @DTUtweet Poul la Cour Tunnel in clean and artificially roughened configurations. IR thermography helped examine the flow.

A new study by Sandua-Fernรกndez, Aparicio-Sanchez, Cantero-Nouqueret & Eguinoa (@CENER_Energia) explores how Leading Edge Erosion impacts static wake steering performance in wind turbines.

Have you heard of the wake effect?
In the EUโs race to net-zero, wind farms often face a challenge where upstream turbines reduce the wind velocity reaching those downstream, reducing overall energy output.

@ProjectAIRE will be at #WCCMECCOMAS2026, represented by @FraunhoferIWS. On Friday 24, they present a cross-code comparison of three numerical frameworks for thick airfoil aerodynamics. Session MS157D, 11:30โ13:00, room ICM โ 4a. At the congress? Let us know!

A new edition of the AIRE newsletter is out, and this one has concrete results to share. Among them is the erosion safe operation tool, now released and open source. Read the full piece:

Each blade on AIRE's tallest turbine weighs about as much as 15 family cars ๐
That gives you a sense of the scale of the machinery behind AIRE's offshore research. Swipe to know more about it.
