The offshore wind sector is expanding to deep water locations through floating platforms.
This poses challenges to horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) due to the ever growing …

A comparative analysis of seven commonly-used eddy-viscosity turbulence models for CFD
simulations of VAWTs is presented. The models include one-to four-equations, namely the …

The current design of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) suffers from inevitable change in
tip speed ratio, λ, in variant wind conditions due to fixed rotor speed. At relatively high wind …

In this paper, wind tunnel measurements on a model of a vertical axis wind turbine (VAWT)
are reported. The turbine is a novel hybrid Savonius-Darrieus combined rotor which aims …

In recent days, enhancement of Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) by mitigating flow
deteriorating effects like dynamic stalling, unsteady wake is given great importance. The …

Abstract Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) is one of the most cost-efficient
approaches to simulate wind-farm-atmosphere interactions. However, the applicability of …

Since ancient times, wind energy has been exploited in various fields, it was at the
beginning used to rotate pumps for the purposes of agriculture and irrigation. At the …

The wake of paired cross-flow turbines is reproduced by means of Large-Eddy Simulation,
using a computational grid consisting of about two billion points. The role of mutual …

With the increasing amount of available data from simulations and experiments, research for
the development of data-driven models for wind-farm power prediction has increased …

Momentum recovery within the near wake of a cross-flow turbine is studied, focusing on the
different terms of the momentum balance equation. The flow is computed via Large-Eddy …
