The Impact of Air–Sea Flux Parameterization Methods on Simulating Storm Surges and Ocean Surface Currents by Li Cai, Bin Wang, Wenqian Wang, Xingru Feng

“…Our results quantify how the wind stress drag coefficient’s formulation alters atmosphere–ocean feedback, with wave-state aware schemes exhibiting superior surge prediction accuracy compared to wind-speed-dependent approaches. Specifically, a larger wind stress drag coefficient leads to increased atmospheric bottom stress and sea surface stress, resulting in weaker winds and larger sea surface currents and storm surges. …”

Experimental Investigation of the Dynamic Deformation of Wind Turbine Blades Based on 3D-Digital Image Correlation by Liru Zhang, Jing Jia, Shibing Shao, Wei Gao, Dachuan Niu

“…The experimental results show that the dynamic waving deformation of the blade shows the trend of increasing and then decreasing with the increase in wind turbine rotational speed and incoming wind speed, and when the rotational speed reaches 500 r/min and the incoming wind speed reaches 9 m/s, the blade deformation reaches the maximum value; the dynamic waving deformation of wind turbine blade decreases with the increase in the elastic modulus of the blade and the degree of the decrease decreases gradually; the dynamic deformation of is predicted by the multiple displacement distribution of different blades under different operating conditions, and is obtained by the fitting of the experimental data. …”
