Abstract Knowledge of the turbulence in the wakes of wind turbines is important to improve
the operation and lifetime of downstream turbines exposed to these wakes. As the …

The wake of an isolated model-scale wind turbine is analysed in a set of inflow conditions
having free stream turbulence intensity between 3% and 12%, and integral time scales in …

Planar particle image velocimetry was conducted upstream and in the near-wake of a lab-
scale free-rotating wind turbine model and compared to several actuator disks with the same …

With the increasing demand for wind energy, it is important to be able to understand and
predict the available wind resources. To that end, the present wind tunnel study addresses …

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 …

This Round Robin Test program aims to establish the influence of the combined wave and
current effect on the power capture and performance of a generic tidal turbine prototype …

Free-stream turbulence characteristics play an important role in the mechanisms of power
harvesting for wind turbines. Acquisitions of power and thrust from a model wind turbine of …

A new design methodology for porous disk wind turbine modeling is proposed, where a disk
is matched to a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) on (i) thrust coefficient,(ii) radial solidity …

Porous discs are the experimental counterparts of the numerical actuator disc concept and
are frequently used in wind tunnel studies to reproduce the far-wake characteristics of wind …

The growing interest in floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs) is rooted in the potential
source of increased offshore energy production. As the technology is still in a pre-industrial …
