Research summary
AI-generated

Matthew Churchfield studies wind energy, focusing on how wind flows through and around wind farms and how atmospheric conditions affect turbine performance. Much of the work involves high-fidelity computer simulations of airflow, including large-scale offshore wind projects and the interactions between neighboring wind farms. The research also develops software tools and simulation methods to model turbulence, atmospheric waves, and turbine wakes.
