ABSTRACT

Wind energy is a primary component of contemporary renewable energy
development. In this talk, the speaker will describe his efforts in the
study of wind energy. Issues involved are wind turbine flow control,
modeling of structural vibrations of turbine towers, offshore structures, etc.
Computational method based on the Finite Volume Method (FVM) using OpenFOAM
and FLUENT softwares is being developed. The speaker will show short animations of wind turbine
flow motion obtained by these computational fluid dynamics softwares
ANSYS/FLUENT and OpenFOAM.

Short Biography of Goong Chen:  Goong Chen was born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 1950. He received his BSc (Math)
from the National Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan in 1972 and PhD
(Math) from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1977. He has taught
at the Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (1977-78), and the Pennsylvania
State University at University Park (1978-1987). Since 1987, he has been
Professor of Mathematics and Aerospace Engineering, and (since 2000) a member
of the Institute for Quantum Studies, at Texas A&M University in College
Station, Texas. He has also held visiting positions at INRIA in Rocquencourt,
France, Centre de Recherche Mathematiques of the Universite de Montreal, the
Technical University of Denmark in Lyngby, Denmark, the National University
of Singapore, and National Tsing Hua University in Hsinchu, Taiwan.

He has research interests in many areas of applied and computational mathematics:
control theory for partial differential equations (PDEs), boundary element
methods and numerical solutions of PDEs, engineering mechanics, chaotic dynamics,
quantum computation, chemical physics and quantum mechanics. He has
written over one hundred and thirty papers, seven advanced texts/monographs,
and co-edited four books. He is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Mathematical
Analysis and Applications, and has served as the Editor-in-Chief of the Chapman
& Hall/CRC Press Applied Mathematics and Nonlinear Science Series (2002-
2011), and as Associate Editor for several other editorial boards, including the
SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, the International Journal on Quantum
Information, and the Electronic Journal of Differential Equations. He is also
a co-holder of a U.S. Patent on certain quantum circuit design for quantum computing.
He has memberships in the American Mathematical Society (AMS) and
the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).
