As the steel towers in the power system are vulnerable to intensive wind loads, it is essential
to understand their dynamics response to estimate its potential failure. Conventional …

Aerodynamic roughness length (z 0 m) is a key parameter in the characterization of land
surface turbulent heat fluxes and widely used in many surface and climate-related process …

Methane (CH4) is the second most abundant anthropogenic greenhouse gas after carbon
dioxide (CO2), accounting for about 20% of global emissions. CH4 anthropogenic emission …

South Korea is surrounded by the sea on three sides. The characteristics of offshore wind
resources vary from region to region due to the influence of the distribution of the coastline …

In the present work, the wake behavior of wind turbines, operating under thermally-stratified
atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), is numerically investigated. The steady state three …

A detailed analysis of a sea breeze front (SBF) that penetrated inland in the Beijing–Tianjin–
Hebei urban agglomeration of China was conducted. We focused on the boundary layer …

An investigation of power law exponents (wind shear coefficients) was conducted using
LiDAR data collected offshore in Lake Erie. The purpose was to investigate discrepancies …

The first objective of the thesis is to characterise the role of the local aerodynamic
unsteadiness introduced by thick aerofoils equipped with root aerodynamic add-on. A …

Steadily increasing energy consumption, fluctuating fuel costs and concerns about global
climate changes have led to the research and evaluation of alternative renewable energies …

The development of megawatt class turbines has led to the improvement of wind turbine
technology and design. Re-powering in wind energy is a concept to replace and reduce the …
