The near wake of a small-scale wind turbine is investigated using Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) experiments at different tip speed ratios ($\lambda$). The wind turbine model had a nacelle and a tower mimicking real scale wind turbines.…
Wind turbines located in wind farms are operated to maximize only their own power production. Individual operation results in wake losses that reduce farm energy. In this study, we operate a wind turbine array collectively to maximize total…
Urban warming is evident in numerous cities. On especially hot days, building surfaces warm up, leading to buoyancy-driven flows adjacent to these surfaces. The dynamics of the flow structures are largely influenced by the interplay between…
A new theoretical method is presented for future multi-scale aerodynamic optimisation of very large wind farms. The new method combines a recent two-scale coupled momentum analysis of ideal wind turbine arrays with the classical…
This paper presents an academia-industry joint case study, which was conducted to quantify and compare multi-year changes in power production performance of multiple turbines scattered over a mid-size wind farm. This analysis is referred to…
The rapid growth of wind power generation has led to increased interest in understanding and mitigating the adverse effects of wind turbine wakes and forced oscillations in wind farms. In this paper, we model a wind farm consisting of three…
We conducted high-resolution large-eddy simulations over a real urban district in Barcelona to examine the impact of wind direction on near-ground flow. The computational mesh resolves over 500 million degrees of freedom, with a spatial…
We apply the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to large eddy simulation data of a wind turbine wake in a turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. The turbine is modeled as an actuator disk. Our analyis mainly focuses on the question…
The wake of a horizontal-axis wind turbine was studied at $Re_D=4\times10^6$ with the aim of revealing the effects of the tip speed ratio, $\lambda$, on the wake. Tip speed ratios of $4<\lambda<7$ were investigated and measurements were…
The high-Reynolds-number wake of a slender body with a turbulent boundary layer is investigated using a hybrid simulation. The wake generator is a 6:1 prolate spheroid and the Reynolds number based on the diameter $D$ is $Re = 10^5$. The…
Differences between time-averaged and ensemble-averaged wind are studied for the case of changing wind direction. We consider a flow driven by a temporally turning pressure gradient in both an idealized case of a staggered cube array and a…
We investigate statistics of large-scale structures from large-eddy simulation (LES) of turbulent channel flow at friction Reynolds numbers $Re_\tau = 2 {\rm k}$ and $200 {\rm k}$. To properly capture the behaviour of large-scale…
This study investigates how variations in freestream turbulence (FST) and the thrust coefficient ($C_T$) influence wind turbine wakes. Wakes generated at $C_T \in \{0.5, 0.7,0.9\}$ are exposed to turbulent inflows with varying FST intensity…
Wake steering, the intentional yaw misalignment of certain turbines in an array, has demonstrated potential as a wind farm control approach to increase collective power. Existing algorithms optimize the yaw misalignment angle set-points…
The study presents wall-modeled large-eddy simulations (LES) characterizing the flow features of a neutral atmospheric boundary layer over two urban-like roughness geometries: an array of three-dimensional square prisms and the…
Emergence and growth of sand dunes results from the dynamic interaction between topography, wind flow and sediment transport. While feedbacks between these variables are well studied at the scale of a single and relatively small dune, the…
Yaw control has proven to be promising in alleviating the wake effects that plague the efficiency of wind farms. In this work, the actuator line modeling (ALM) method is adopted to simulate the flows over two tandem turbines distanced by $3…
This paper presents an innovative offshore solution where oil & gas platform clusters are powered by a wind farm and a hydrogen hub. The results show a feasible off-grid design as an alternative to conventional electrification solutions. To…
This paper presents an aggregate reduced-order model for a wind farm composed of identical parallel-connected Type-3 wind turbines. The model for individual turbines includes mechanical dynamics (arising from the turbine and doubly fed…
The meteorological conditions markedly affect the energy efficiencies and cost/power rate of the wind turbines. This study numerically investigates the performance of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) Phase VI wind turbine,…
