Weather & Wake effects Workshop
What to expect?
Wakes have long been a core topic within the TORQUE community. With major advances in research and modelling, the need to consolidate knowledge and bring experts together is growing. This workshop aims to do exactly that: offering a unique opportunity to connect leading researchers, industry partners, and technological pioneers.
The programme explores recent insights, challenges, and future directions in the field of wake modelling. Participants will have the opportunity to exchange experiences, gain new ideas, and explore potential collaborations. After the workshop, we offer you lunch.
This workshop is a joint initiative of Blue Cluster and the Cloud4Wake Consortium (VUB, KU Leuven, Sirris/OWI-lab, VKI) and is part of Torque 2026.
