With the continuous increasing size and flexibility of large wind turbine blades, aeroelasticity
has been becoming a significant subject for wind turbine blade design. There have been …

Horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWTs) are the primary devices used in the wind energy
sector. Systems used to evaluate the design of turbine blades and generators are key to …

Fast and effective numerical models describing the effect of platform motion on the
performance of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) are fundamental to assess energy …

Recently, offshore renewable energy has received significant attentions from most oceanic
countries. Its multiple disciplinary nature appears as a hot research spot. Among those …

Understanding the unsteady characteristics of the mid-to-far wake and comprehension of the
aerodynamic performance of floating offshore wind turbines is essential for the further …

Recently, actuator line model become popular in studying wind-turbine wakes. However,
existing models ignore or inaccurately describe nacelle effects, which have been shown to …

The objective of this work is to develop and test a set of general guidelines for choosing
parameters to be used in the state-of-the-art actuator line method (ALM) for modeling wind …

A large‐eddy simulation framework, dubbed as the Virtual Wind Simulator (VWiS), for
simulating turbulent flow over wind turbines and wind farms in complex terrain is developed …

Actuator line model has been widely used in wind turbine simulations. However, the
standard actuator line model does not include a model for the turbine nacelle which can …

This is the second of two articles with the main, and largely self-explanatory, title “Rotor
theories by Professor Joukowsky”. This article considers rotors with finite number of blades …
