Pierce Laboratory Seminar Series: Formation Flight and High Density Tidal Energy Harvesting: Taking Advantage of Coherent Vortex Wakes 

Please join us for the Henry L. Pierce Laboratory Seminar Series with Kenny Breuer, Professor of Engineering at Brown University. In this talk, Breuer will present examples of highly structured wakes from his work on animal flight and the surprising connections with renewable energy harvesting using Oscillatory Flow Turbines. Lastly, he will demonstrate how these structured wakes enable high efficiency formation flight in birds as well as high density energy harvesting systems.  This seminar is in person in 1-390.
