Learn about the science behind ARCHER2 Image Competition entries

28 February 2025

These webinars will discuss the research that underlies some of the images from the 2024 ARCHER2 Image and Video Competition.

The Science Behind The Image Competition: 2

Wednesday 19th March, 15:00-16:00

Dr Sébastien Lemaire (EPCC), Dr Andrew Mole (Imperial College London) will talk about the science, data processing and visualisation behind the video “Effects of “wake steering” on wind turbine flows”. See above.

Andrew Mole will begin by discussing the simulations shown in the video, their importance for wind-turbine farm efficiencies, and the methodology used.

Sébastien Lemaire will then focus on the visualisations themselves, explaining the journey from the raw output of CFD simulations to visually appealing imagery. He will detail the process and discuss how to create impactful visualisations.
