With the ongoing expansion of wind energy onshore and offshore, large-scale wind-farm-
flow effects in a temporally-and spatially-heterogeneous atmosphere become increasingly …

The mid-Atlantic will experience rapid wind plant development due to its promising wind
resource located near large population centers. Wind turbines and wind plants create …

Accurate parameterization of the wind-induced effects on the Marine Atmospheric Boundary
Layer (MABL) is of fundamental importance for many applications including weather …

Abstract The Mesoscale to Microscale Coupling team, part of the US Department of Energy
Atmosphere to Electrons (A2e) initiative, has studied various important challenges related to …

Wind plants slow down the approaching wind, a phenomenon known as blockage. Wind
plant blockage undermines turbine performance for front-row turbines and potentially for …

Most detailed modeling and simulation studies of wind turbine wakes have considered flat
terrain scenarios. Wind turbines, however, are commonly sited in mountainous or hilly …

A validation study is carried out for a generalized actuator disk model (GAD) implemented
into the Weather Research and Forecasting model, an open-source numerical weather …

Wind plant blockage reduces wind velocity upstream of wind plants, reducing the power
generated by turbines adjacent to the inflow, and potentially throughout the plant as well …

To simulate transient wind turbine wake interaction problems using limited wind turbine
data, two new variants of the actuator line technique are proposed in which the rotor blade …

We investigate the ability of the Weather Research and Forecasting model to perform large-
eddy simulation of canonical flows. This is achieved through comparison of the simulation …
