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 …
Similar to other renewable energy sources, wind energy is characterized by a low power density. Hence, for wind energy to make considerable contributions to the world's overall …
In wind farms, wakes originating from upstream turbines cause reduced energy extraction and increased loading variability in downstream rows. The prospect of mitigating these …
While neutral atmospheric boundary layers are rare over land, they occur frequently over sea. In these cases they are almost always of the conventionally neutral type, in which the …

Particularly challenging classes of heterogeneous surfaces are ones where strong secondary circulations are generated, potentially dominating the flow dynamics. In this …
We use large-eddy simulations (LES) to investigate the impact of stable stratification on gravity-wave excitation and energy extraction in a large wind farm. To this end, the …
Wake effects within a wind farm are identified as one of the main factors impacting wind farm power production and fatigue loading on wind turbines' structural elements. An efficient …

The accelerating growth of wind energy in recent years mandates improved understanding of wind turbine, wind farm and atmospheric turbulence interactions. Fluid turbulence plays a …
In this study, large-eddy simulations are performed to investigate the flow inside and around large finite-size wind farms in conventionally-neutral atmospheric boundary layers. Special …
