An Analytical Model for Wind Turbine Wakes under Pressure Gradient
Energies, 2022 In this study, we present an analytical modeling framework for wind turbine wakes under an arbitrary pressure gradient imposed by the base flow. The model is based on the conservation of the streamwise momentum and self-similarity of the wake velocity ...

Wake modeling for offshore floating wind farms incorporating time-lag effects in yaw and pitch states [PDF]
Scientific ReportsCompared to fixed-bottom offshore wind farms, offshore floating wind farms experience unstable platform motions that induce rotor misalignment. Such misalignment causes wake redirection, necessitating its consideration in wake modeling for enhanced ...

A Calibration Procedure for an Analytical Wake Model Using Wind Farm Operational Data
Energies, 2020 Wind energy is one of the fastest growing renewable energy sources in the U.S. Wind turbine wakes change the flow field within wind farms and reduce power generation. Prior research has used experimental and computational methods to investigate and model

A New Streamwise Scaling for Wind Turbine Wake Modeling in the Atmospheric Boundary Layer
Energies, 2022 In this study, we aim to investigate if there is a scaling of the streamwise distance from a wind turbine that leads to a collapse of the mean wake velocity deficit under different ambient turbulence levels.

Upward Shift of Wind Turbine Wakes in Large Wind Farms
Energies, 2023 A detailed description of wake characteristics is essential for optimizing wind farm performance. Compared with the wake of a stand-alone wind turbine, less attention has been paid to wind turbine wakes in large wind farms.
