    Abstract: Techniques for conducting an air flow simulation for a wind turbine are described. The techniques include importing a file containing a digitized representation of a three-dimensional blade geometry, extracting from the file, blade constructive parameters, and calculating a low-order air flow past a wind-turbine that includes the blade, based on a Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) to determine sectional angle of attack and free-stream velocity, boundary layer transition, and acoustic noise results. The techniques also include performing air flow simulation for a given number of blade sections, and generating virtual microphone rings. The process also includes computing noise spectra at the virtual microphone rings and blending the noise spectra generated and generating synthetic noise signals from each section by inverse Fourier transform of the noise spectra and converting the noise spectra into an audio track.

    Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for performing a flow simulation that include storing in a memory state vectors for a plurality of voxels, the state vectors comprising a plurality of entries that correspond to particular momentum states of a plurality of possible momentum states at a voxel. The techniques also include storing in a memory a representation of at least one surface and performing interaction operations on the state vectors, the interaction operations modelling interactions between elements of different momentum states. The techniques also include performing surface interaction operations which model interactions between the surface and elements of at least one voxel near the surface, including modeling a wall shear stress direction that is not parallel to a flow velocity direction and performing move operations on the state vectors to reflect movement of elements to new voxels.

    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for the generation and use of a fast battery model. One of the methods includes obtaining temperature data for one or more locations within or on the surface of a battery, the temperature data comprising time-varying heat flow inputs applied to the battery and time-varying temperature signals generated by the battery. The method also includes processing the temperature data to generate a continuous-time thermal model having one or more time-delay elements and one or more parameters, wherein parameter values are fitted using the temperature data.

    Abstract: Computer-implemented techniques for simulating underhood conditions for a vehicle and the like are disclosed. The computer-implemented techniques include receiving by a computer processing system digital data of a three dimensional representation of modeling of a fluid source, a fluid sink, and plural fluid nodes, executing a transient thermal model that includes an underhood fluid model, and performing a simulation to simulate fluid flow from the fluid source to the fluid sink through each of the plural fluid nodes.
