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 …

The atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) undergoes substantial changes in its structure and
dynamics in the course of a day due to the transient nature of forcing factors such as the …

Thermal stability changes the properties of the turbulent atmospheric boundary layer, and in
turn affects the behaviour of wind-turbine wakes. To better understand the effects of thermal …

Wind harvesting is fast becoming an important alternative source of energy. As wind farms
become larger, they begin to attain scales at which two-way interactions with the …

The increasing size of wind turbines, with rotors already spanning more than 150 m
diameter and hub heights above 100 m, requires proper modeling of the atmospheric …

Accurate prediction of atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flow and its interactions with wind
turbines is of great importance for optimizing the design and efficiency of wind farms. This …

A numerical study of atmospheric turbulence effects on wind-turbine wakes is presented.
Large-eddy simulations of neutrally-stratified atmospheric boundary layer flows through …

Wind-tunnel experiments were carried out to study turbulence statistics in the wake of a
model wind turbine placed in a boundary-layer flow under both neutral and stably stratified …

In this article, a new model is developed to parameterize the effect of wind farms in large-
scale atmospheric models such as weather models. In the new model, wind turbines in a …

A recently-developed large-eddy simulation framework is validated and used to investigate
turbulent flow within and above wind farms under neutral conditions. Two different layouts …
