DESCRIPTION:Prof. Raúl Bayoán Cal\, Department of Mechanical and Materia
 ls Engineering at Portland State University\nAbstract:\nExperiments and nu
 merical studies have demonstrated that the power extracted by the wind pla
 nt is directly and proportionately related to the transport of mean kineti
 c energy - here the parting point.  This is intimately tied with the bala
 nce of turbulence kinetic energy.  These relations are shown through wind
  tunnel experiments and large eddy simulations where various terms are con
 sidered with the aim of identifying leading terms and their role in the dy
 namics of such wind plants.\n \nBio:\nRaúl Bayoán Cal is a professor in
  the Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at Portland State 
 University\; a faculty member since 2010. He is currently a Fulbright Scho
 lar at Ecole Normale Supérieure de Lyon.  Received his Ph.D. in Mechanic
 al Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2006. During 2006 
 to 2009\, he was a postdoctoral fellow at Johns Hopkins University. His ar
 ea of research is focused on understanding turbulence with emphasis placed
  on physics related of wall-bounded\, free-shear and multi-phase flows as 
 well as renewable energy.\n
