Nir Saar Maor
UT Dallas Graduate Student 

Following an introduction of the UTD BLAST and how they utilize the wind tunnel in a variety of ways, Nir will discuss their research into how grove structures, known as riblets, can help reduce friction on an airfoil and, in turn, increase power output of a wind turbine.
