Wind energy, together with other renewable energy sources, are expected to grow
substantially in the coming decades and play a key role in mitigating climate change and …

This paper presents a literature review of the dynamics of offshore floating wind turbine
platforms. When moving further offshore, there is an increase in the capacity of wind power …

We perform the large-eddy simulation of the flow past a helicopter rotor to support the
investigation of rotorcraft wake characteristics and decay mechanisms. A hybrid Lagrangian …

A detailed wake analysis of two different turbine concepts is conducted to gain a
fundamental understanding of the main energy recovery processes at play in each case. An …

Measurements of the instantaneous wake flow from a model wind turbine placed in a
turbulent boundary layer were obtained by wall-parallel oriented particle image velocimetry …

Accurate simulation of wind turbine wakes is critical for the optimization of turbine efficiency
and prediction of fatigue loads. These wakes are three-dimensional, complex, unsteady and …

Large offshore wind farms are usually clustered around transmission grids to minimize the
expense of transmission, due to military zones, pipelines, and due to other uses such as …

The numerical study of the wake of full-scale slender devices such as aircraft wings and
wind turbine blades requires high-fidelity large eddy simulation tools. The broad spectrum of …

In this work, we extend the AeroDyn module of OpenFAST to support arbitrary collections of
wings, rotors, and towers. The new standalone AeroDyn driver supports arbitrary motions of …

This article describes an actuator curve embedding (ACE) concept to model arbitrary lifting
lines using body forces within large-eddy simulation (LES). The new method removes some …
