Third Symposium on OpenFOAM in Wind Energy
The Third Symposium on OpenFOAM® in Wind Energy (SOWE) is co-hosted by 'Dipartimento di Meccanica' and 'Dipartimento di Energia' at Politecnico di Milano, bringing together people who use OpenFOAM® for wind energy applications. The symposium aims to present the state of the art in wind energy computational approach using OpenFOAM®, allowing people to share knowledge, and identifying common problems that should be addressed.
Date: June 15, 2015 - June 17, 2015
Location: Milano, Milano, Italy

Organizer: Politecnico di Milano
Application Areas: Environmental, Wind Turbines
Special Fields: Turbulence Modeling, Turbulence - LES Methods, Finite Volume Methods, Grid Generation, Visualization and Post-Processing, Aerodynamics, Optimization, Incompressible Flows, Fluid Mechancis, Hydrodynamics, High Performance Computing
Softwares: OpenFOAM, ParaView
Deadlines: February 28, 2015 (abstract), June 15, 2015 (registration)
Type of Event: Conference, International
 
Description:

The Symposium will cover a wide spread of topics linked 
to the wind energy research area.
Most relevant topics are reported below and the 
presentations will be arranged according to the described 
arguments. The proposed topics are not limiting, since 
they are not intended to limit the participation to the 
discussion on other wind energy applications in OpenFOAM.
 
MAJOR TOPICS

+  Atmospheric Flows (including flow over complex 
terrains and sea)
+  HAWT Wind Turbine Aerodynamics and Wakes
+  Vertical Axis Wind turbines
+  Small scale and urban wind energy applications
+  Site Assessment and Wind Plant Aerodynamics
+  Offshore Wind Aerodynamics and Hydrodynamics
+  Other (including meshing, algorithms, post-processing, 
parallel performance, etc.)

The First Edition of SOWE was hosted by ForWind and 
Fraunhofer IWES in Oldenburg (Germany).
The Second Edition of SOWE was hosted by NREL and RASEI 
in Boulder (Colorado - USA).
