High-order large-eddy simulations are performed to study the performance and flow field of a ducted wind turbine operating at different tip speed ratios. To evaluate the effects of the duct, simulations with the same tip speed ratios are…
Collective wind farm flow control, where wind turbines are operated in an individually suboptimal strategy to benefit the aggregate farm, has demonstrated potential to reduce wake interactions and increase farm energy production. However,…

Large eddy simulations of wind farms are performed to study the effects of wind turbine row alignment with respect to the incoming flow direction. Various wind farms with fixed stream-wise spacing (7.85 rotor diameters) and varying lateral…
CFD studies have been performed to demonstrate the effects of rotation on large wind turbine blades. The 10 MW blade of the Advanced Aerodynamic Tools for Large Rotors (AVATAR) project was selected in the present investigation. In order to…
We report the first high-order eddy-resolving simulation of flow over a marine propeller using a recently developed high-order sliding-mesh method. This method employs the flux reconstruction framework and a new dynamic curved mortar…
In order to shed light on the Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT) wake characteristics, in this paper we present high-fidelity CFD simulations of the flow around an exemplary H-shaped VAWT turbine, and we propose to apply Proper Orthogonal…
Reducing wake losses in wind farms by deflecting the wakes through turbine yawing has been shown to be a feasible wind farm controls approach. Nonetheless, the effectiveness of yawing depends not only on the degree of wake deflection but…
This paper compares two actuator line methodologies for modelling wind turbines employing high-order h/p solvers and large-eddy simulations. The methods combine the accuracy of high-order solvers (in this work the maximum order is 6) with…
This work focuses on the validation of the dynamic wake meandering (DWM) model against large eddy simulation (LES). The wake deficit, mean deflection, and meandering under different wind turbine misalignment angles in yaw and tilt, for the…
Improving the power output from wind farms is vital in transitioning to renewable electricity generation. However, in wind farms, wind turbines often operate in the wake of other turbines, leading to a reduction in the wind speed and the…
Cross-flow turbines harness kinetic energy in wind or moving water. Due to their unsteady fluid dynamics, it can be difficult to predict the interplay between aspects of rotor geometry and turbine performance. This study considers the…

Wind tunnel tests of 2D rough cylinders are presented. The goal is to simulate the alternate vortex shedding in flow regimes encountered in wind engineering applications, where the full scale Reynolds number is larger than the one that can…
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…
In this paper, wake steering is applied to multirotor turbines to determine whether it has the potential to reduce wind plant wake losses. Through application of rotor yaw to multirotor turbines, a new degree of freedom is introduced to…
The flow speed-up generated by windbreaks can be used to increase the power production of wind turbines. However, due to the increased drag imposed by the windbreaks, their use in large wind turbine arrays has been questioned. We use large…
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…
Tall buildings are often subjected to steady and unsteady forces due to external wind flows. Measurement and mitigation of these forces becomes critical to structural design in engineering applications. Over the last few decades, many…
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…
