Overview
Personal Profile
Brooke Stanislawski is working to advance renewable energy technologies through numerical modeling of physical processes such as fluid mechanics, turbulence, heat transfer, and structural loading. She works on projects in wind, solar, and hybrid power plant applications. In wind energy, she uses high-fidelity modeling to study the influence of turbulence on wind turbine loads. In solar energy, she works in concentrated solar power (CSP), modeling optical losses, wind loading, and the turbulent inflow in the atmospheric boundary layer. She is also interested in the development of fast-response models that bring findings from high-fidelity models to more accessible software tools.
