Wind energy, together with other renewable energy sources, are expected to grow
substantially in the coming decades and play a key role in mitigating climate change and …

Wind turbine (WT) experiments in wind tunnels can benefit the efficient utilization of wind
energy in many aspects, such as the testing of new products, the validation of numerical …

Comprehensive wind tunnel experiments were carried out to study the interaction of a
turbulent boundary layer with a wind turbine operating under different tip-speed ratios and …

The performance and detailed near-wake characteristics of a vertical axis, cross-flow turbine
(CFT) of aspect ratio 1 were measured in a large cross-section towing tank. The near-wake …

Abstract Knowledge of the turbulence in the wakes of wind turbines is important to improve
the operation and lifetime of downstream turbines exposed to these wakes. As the …

A large-eddy simulation (LES) of a laboratory-scale horizontal axis tidal stream turbine
operating over an irregular bathymetry in the form of dunes is performed. The Reynolds …

The wake recovery downstream of a vertical axis turbine operating in a turbulent channel
flow is investigated via detailed velocity measurements using an Acoustic Doppler …

A detailed wake analysis of two different turbine concepts is conducted to gain a
fundamental understanding of the main energy recovery processes at play in each case. An …

In this work, we investigate the characteristics of wind turbine wakes for three different blade
designs (ie the NREL-Ori, NREL-Root and NREL-Tip designs, where the NREL-Ori refers to …

In this study, we aim to investigate the influence of inflow turbulent length scales on wind
turbine wakes. For this purpose, large-eddy simulations of the wake of a wind turbine are …
