Martin Otto Laver Hansen

Martin Otto Laver Hansen is an Associate Professor at the Department of Wind and Energy Systems in the Technical University of Denmark. His expertise spans wind turbine design, aerodynamics, and computational fluid dynamics. Research highlights include vortex generators, high Reynolds number flows, and vertical/horizontal axis wind turbines.

• Current projects: TIP and Root Vortex Generators, FAST LES model for floating wind farms, and NEXTgenT offshore rotor design.

Research focuses on boundary layer control, dynamic stall mitigation, and advanced numerical modeling (e.g., Lattice-Boltzmann methods, actuator line models). Recent work emphasizes vibration control, unsteady flow conditions, and efficiency optimization for 25+ MW turbines.

Publications highlight trends in Wind Energy and Fluid Mechanics, particularly computational methods for turbine design and high Reynolds number challenges. Collaborations span offshore wind engineering and sustainable energy systems.

• Scientific award: Best paper recognition at 2009 International Symposium on Energy, Informatics, and Cybernetics.

Active supervising PhD students and participating in EU-funded projects like DigiWind and Horizon Europe. Collaborations involve Denmark, Germany, and international institutions.
