The wakes of two different porous disks have been evaluated experimentally. Such disks are
commonly used as physical actuator disk analogs for wind turbines. One disk is made of a …

Floating offshore wind turbines may experience large surge motions, which can cause blade–
vortex interaction if they are similar to or faster than the local wind speed. Previous research …

To meet the political goals regarding renewable energy production, offshore wind keeps
expanding to waters with larger depths and harsher conditions, while the turbine size …

The wakes of a uniform and a non-uniform porous disk exposed to two different turbulent
flows are investigated experimentally. The disks are representative of static wind turbine …

The wake of a wind turbine has an important influence on the output power of wind farms.
Staggered height layout is an emerging method for the layout optimization of wind farms. In …

The wake recovery from planar porous actuators that surrogate the effect of wind turbines is
investigated, focusing on rectangular shapes for vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs). We …

Wind tunnel experiments on a scaled vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT) and square porous
plate with a porosity of 64% are conducted in the W-tunnel of TU-Delft. The VAWT thrusts in …

The development of floating offshore wind turbines poses new challenges since the floating
platform introduces complex dynamics in the wind turbine wake. These wake dynamics are …

Traditional methods for determining the load of an object in unsteady cases, such as Control-
volume Momentum Integration (CMI) and Noca methods, encounter challenges related to …
