Wind as Driver of Bird and Bat Abundance, Flight Direction, Altitude, and Speed on the North Atlantic Shelf
Abigale Snortland, Jeff Clerc, Cris Hein +1
Quantifying the collision risk of birds and bats with offshore wind turbines requires an understanding of the drivers of flying animal behavior at offshore wind sites. An omnidirec…

Experimental identification of blade-level forces, torque, and pitching moment for cross-flow turbines
Abigale Snortland, Katherine Van Ness, Jennifer A. Franck +3
Cross-flow turbine power is a net sum of power generation from rotating blades and power loss from rotating support structures. While the aggregate forces and torques at the turbin…

Near Wake Dynamics of a Cross-Flow Turbine Array
Isabel Scherl, Abigale Snortland, Steven Brunton +1
Cross-flow turbines, also known as vertical-axis turbines, convert the kinetic energy in moving fluid to mechanical energy using blades that rotate about an axis perpendicular to t…
