ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION

Founded in 2013  by Dr Ivan De Visscher, Prof. Grégoire Winckelmans and Prof. Philippe Chatelain, Wake Prediction Technologies (WaPT) SRL is a Belgian company aiming at providing solutions to wake-related issues for aeronautical and wind energy applications.

As a spin-off company from Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain), WaPT benefits from the state-of-the-art technology developed at UCLouvain and from the broad know-how in wake modeling, analysis and numerical simulation that has been acquired since 1996 in the research teams.

WaPT also benefited from the support of the Walloon Incubator for engineering sciences (ex-WSL now IGNITY https://www.ignity.be).

PUBLICATIONS

WaPT’s staff members have authored numerous publications on wake modeling, numerical simulation, and related operational applications. These include both peer-reviewed articles in leading scientific journals and presentations at international conferences. A non-exhaustive list of relevant references is provided here.
