With the gradual upscaling of offshore wind turbines, the blade size becomes large and the
blade tip velocity reaches almost a Mach number of 0.3, the limit of the incompressible flow …

The future generation of wind turbines will be characterised by longer and more flexible
blades. These large wind turbines are facing higher Reynolds numbers, as a consequence …

Current simulations of wind turbines routinely use an incompressible flow solver which
assume a constant air density, while the development of large wind turbines increases the …

Modern wind turbines are the largest rotating machines ever built, with blade lengths
exceeding one hundred meters. Previous studies demonstrated how the flow around the tip …

For the largest wind turbines currently designed, when operating at rated power and at high
wind speeds, the tip airfoils can experience large negative angles of attack. For these …

This study performed an aerodynamic characterization of the FFA-W3-211 wind turbine tip
airfoil in transonic flow using Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) …

Modern wind turbines are the largest rotating machines ever built, with blade lengths
exceeding 100 m. Previous studies demonstrated how the flow around the tip airfoils of such …

This paper presents the evaluation process of aerodynamic load on wind turbine blade
using Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) method. The aerodynamic loads are determined using …

Modern utility-scale wind turbines operate in the the lower atmospheric boundary layer
(ABL), which is characterized by large gradients in mean velocity and temperature and the …

The energy captured by a wind turbine is limited due to the variability of wind speed and
direction during typical operating conditions, and also by the efficiency of the turbine (or …
