Penn State engineering student Divya Tyagi refined a century-old mathematical problem in wind turbine design, creating a simpler solution to Glauert's original work. Her addendum expands the analysis to include total force and moment coefficients acting on wind turbine rotors, enabling more efficient turbine designs. The breakthrough could significantly improve wind energy production, with even a 1% efficiency increase potentially powering an entire neighborhood.
