Motivated by the need for compact descriptions of the evolution of non-classical wakes
behind yawed wind turbines, we develop an analytical model to predict the shape of curled …

Misaligned wind turbine rotors redirect the wake, and manipulate the wake shape by
introducing a counter-rotating vortex pair. This mechanism is of great interest for improving …

Large eddy simulations (LESs) are used to study the effects of veer (the height-dependent
lateral deflection of wind velocity due to Coriolis acceleration) on the evolution of wind …

We introduce an analytical model that describes the vertical structure of Ekman boundary
layer flows coupled to the Monin-Obukhov Similarity Theory (MOST) surface layer …

The eddy viscosity hypothesis is a popular method in wind turbine wake modeling for
estimating turbulent Reynolds stresses. We document the downstream evolution of eddy …

This work presents a new engineering analytical model that predicts the effect of both the
turbine yaw misalignment and the inflow wind veer on the wake flow distribution downwind …

In this study, wind and water tunnel experiments of turbulent wakes in a scaled floating wind
farm are performed. Scaling of a floating wind farm with a scaling ratio of 1: 400 is made …

The aerodynamic interactions between wind turbines arranged in farm layout lead to annual
energy production losses ranging from 10% to 30%. Wake steering represents a promising …

Cross-flow turbines, also known as vertical-axis turbines, convert the kinetic energy in
moving fluid to mechanical energy using blades that rotate about an axis perpendicular to …

Wind turbine wake redirection drawn by a yaw control has been proposed as a strategy to
improve the performance of wind farms. However, the characteristics and the development …
