About the editors

Dr Ahmad Vasel-Be-Hagh is an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering and founder of Fluid Mechanics Research Laboratory (https://sites.tntech.edu/fmrl/) at Tennessee Technological University. He develops analytical models, numerical simulations, and laboratory/field experiments to add physical insight to the understanding of fluid mechanics for more accurate prediction and control of flows. Applications of his research include wind turbines and wind farms, aircrafts and submarines, marine hydrokinetic devices, and mechanical energy storage technologies. He has more than 20 publications in scientific journals. He has edited three books for major publishers including Springer and Taylor & Francis, as well as multiple journal special issues for Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments (Elsevier) and International Journal of Sustainable Energy (Taylor & Francis).

Professor David S K Ting is the founder of the Turbulence & Energy Laboratory, www.turbulenceandenergylab.org. He supervises students on a wide range of research projects primarily in the Energy Conservation and Renewable Energy areas; www.dskting.ca. To date, Dr Ting has co/supervised over seventy five graduate students and co-authored more than one hundred and thirty journal papers. His editorial involvement includes a dozen special issues in high-impact journals, three monographs with IET, three with Springer, one with CRC/Taylor and Francis, in addition to his single-authored book on Basics of Engineering Turbulence with Academic Press.
