Frederik Zahle

Frederik Zahle is a Senior Research Scientist at the Department of Wind and Energy Systems at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His work focuses on Wind Turbine Engineering, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), and Aeroelastic Stability Analysis, particularly in airfoil optimization, vortex shedding, and multi-fidelity modeling. He contributes to international collaborations such as the IEA Wind Tasks and leads projects on boundary layer control and large-scale turbine design.

• Key Research Areas: Aerodynamics, CFD, aeroelasticity, airfoil design.
• Supervision: He supervises PhD students like Sina Habibzadeh and Felipe Cespedes Moreno.
• Projects: Involved in initiatives like the Tip and Root Vortex Generators for Boundary Layer Control and the IEA 22-MW Reference Wind Turbine.

Zahle's recent articles emphasize high-fidelity CFD, stabilized solvers, and offshore turbine optimization, reflecting trends in computational modeling and system engineering for wind energy. He actively participates in conferences and workshops, advancing aerodynamic design tools and validating complex flow simulations.
