Rate My Professor Mark Runacres

Runacres has published extensively on topics including airfoil aerodynamics, dynamic stall mitigation, variational multiscale methods for incompressible flows, and laminar separation bubbles on low-Reynolds-number airfoils. Key publications include 'A Linearized and Segregated Variational Multiscale Method for Incompressible Flows' (International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, 2026), 'Dynamic stall mitigation of a pitching aerofoil using a data-driven model' (Computers & Fluids, 2026), 'Prediction of Laminar Separation Bubble on Airfoils at Low Reynolds Number' (Flow, Turbulence and Combustion, 2026), 'User oriented guide of data-driven state-space models for fluid mechanics' (Nonlinear Dynamics, 2026), and 'Airfoil Aerodynamic Response to Sinusoidal Streamwise Gusts: Experiments and Computations' (Journal of Aircraft, 2025). He edited the book Distributed Small Wind Turbines (Institution of Engineering and Technology, year not specified in sources). Earlier works feature experimental validation of paired vertical-axis wind turbines (Renewable Energy, 2020) and techno-economic comparisons of rooftop PVs and small wind turbines (IET Renewable Power Generation, 2019). Runacres teaches courses on fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, and wind energy at Vrije Universiteit Brussel and has delivered seminars such as 'Artificial Aerodynamics'.
