FAST. Farm responses are simulated under different wind conditions and sea states. The outputs suggest that for downstream turbines the effect of partial wake impingement is higher on tower bending moments than on blade bending moments. The downstream wind turbines have higher energy spectra around the tower natural frequency, which may potentially affect the fatigue loads and cut down the turbine lifetime. This study provides references for structural load analysis of downstream wind turbines in large-scale fixed-bottom offshore wind farms.

Inspired by the World Modeling Summit of 2008 and made possible by the availability of dedicated high-end computing resources provided by the National Science Foundation from October 2009 through March 2010, Project Athena demonstrated the sensitivity of climate simulations to spatial resolution and to the representation of subgrid-scale processes with horizontal resolutions up to 10 times higher than contemporary climate models. While many aspects of the mean climate were found to be reassuringly similar, beyond a suggested minimum resolution, the magnitudes and structure of regional effects can differ substantially. Project Athena served as a pilot project to demonstrate that an effective international collaboration can be formed to efficientl...
