Experimental results on the wake properties of a non-rotating simplified wind turbine model,
based on the actuator disc concept, and a rotating model, a three-blade wind turbine, are …

The present paper presents a study of the wake meandering phenomenon with the help of
physical modelling in atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) wind tunnel. The wind turbine is …

Experimental results on the unsteady behaviour of the wake of a modelled wind turbine in
an atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) wind tunnel are presented. Tests were performed by …

The present work proposes an experimental methodology to characterize the unsteady
properties of a wind turbine wake, called meandering, and particularly its ability to follow the …

The actuator disc (AD) model is commonly used to simplify the simulation of horizontal-axis
wind-turbine aerodynamics. The limitations of this approach in reproducing the wake losses …

The Betz theory expresses that no horizontal axis wind turbine can extract more than 16/27
(59.3%) of the kinetic energy of the wind. The factor 16/27 (0.593) is known as the Betz limit …

ABSTRACT A method of generating a synthetic ambient wind field in neutral atmosphere is
described and verified for modelling the effect of wind shear and turbulence on a wind …

The present experimental study focuses on the comparison between the wake of a two-
bladed wind turbine and the one of an actuator disk. The flow field at the middle plane of the …

Scaled wind turbine experiments were conducted in order to evaluate the beneficial effect of
closely-spaced lateral wind turbine configurations on the performance of a wind farm. Two …

This study presents the results of an experimental investigation focusing on the effects of the
inflow boundary layer on the wake characteristics of a 0.12 m diameter porous disk with …
