Often typecast as a menacing figure, Peter Lorre achieved Hollywood fame first as a featured player and later as a character actor, trademarking his screen performances with a delicately strung balance between good and evil. His portrayal of the child murderer in Fritz Lang’s masterpiece M (1931) catapulted him to international fame. Lang said of Lorre: “He gave one of the best performances in film history and certainly the best in his life.” Today, the Hungarian-born actor is also recognized for his riveting performances in The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), The Maltese Falcon (1941), and Casablanca (1942). Lorre arrived in America in 1934 expecting to shed his screen image as a villai...

Author's abstract: The aerodynamic and acoustic characteristics of a horizontal axis wind turbine was computationally investigated. The Computational Fluid Dynamics model of the horizontal axis wind turbine was validated with experimental data for a range of wind speeds and tip pitch angles. In addition, a mesh sensitivity analysis was performed to verify a grid independent solution. Steady state simulations were performed to validate the flow behavior over the airfoil section while transient simulations were performed in order to predict acoustic noise. The acoustic noise of the rotor was predicted at locations downstream of the rotor in the wake region. Higher tip pitch angles were found to result in less noise.
