the foothills of the Rocky Mountains in Golden, Colorado, is the
nation’s primary laboratory for research and development of
renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies. NREL is
continuing an active research and development program for high
performance computing of wind turbine and wind farm dynamics
within the National Wind Technology Center. This R&D program
has an opening for one full-time Engineer in turbine aerodynamics
and wind farm modeling research. The engineer researcher will
perform research with an inter-laboratory team responsible for
accelerating the development of wind energy technology in the U.S.
The scope of the research is focused on modeling individual
turbines and wind farms using high performance computational
tools. The research will also relate directly to experimental
measurements and the development of empirical methods for use by
industry for turbine and wind farm design.</p>

research engineer will use and improve NREL high performance
computing tools for wind turbine aerodynamics and wind farm
interactions. The researcher will work with NREL researchers and
those of other laboratories and industry to advance the level of
understanding of key phenomena regarding atmospheric stability,
turbulence, vegetation, terrain, structural loading and wake
losses within wind farms. The researcher may also model unique
next generation wind turbine aerodynamics using similar high
performance computing tools. The researcher may use the high
performance computing tools to validate and improve more
computationally efficient models to be used by industry. The
researcher will also work with other NREL researchers to better
understand the area of wind farm control.<span
