Towards a Simplified Dynamic Wake Model using POD Analysis [PDF]

, 2015
We apply the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) to large eddy simulation data of a wind turbine wake in a turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. The turbine is modeled as an actuator disk. Our analyis mainly focuses on the question whether POD could be

Aerodynamic Characteristics of Airfoils Equipped With Gurney Flaps and Vortex Generators for the Entire Range of Pitch Angles

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT An experimental study of NACA0021 airfoil equipped with vortex generators (VGs) and Gurney flaps (GFs) was conducted to assess the effects of these devices on the aerodynamic airfoil performance, the information that is necessary for studying the self‐starting characteristics of vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs).

Trailing-Edge Noise and Amplitude Modulation Under Yaw-Induced Partial Wake: A Curl–UVLM Analysis with Atmospheric Stability Effects

Energies
This study examines the effects of partial wakes caused by upstream turbine yaw control on the trailing-edge noise of a downstream turbine under stable and neutral atmospheric conditions. Using a combined model coupling the unsteady vortex lattice method

Investigation of wind turbine flow and wake

Journal of Fluid Science and Technology, 2014
This paper is dedicated to the investigation and analysis of wind turbine wake. An experimental work is undertaken in wind tunnel on a horizontal axis wind turbine model. The velocity field in the wake is measured using PIV with phase synchronization in order to relate velocity and vortices to the rotating blades.

On the wake of a Darrieus turbine [PDF]

, 1981
The theory and experimental measurements on the aerodynamic decay of a wake from high performance vertical axis wind turbine are discussed. In the initial experimental study, the wake downstream of a model Darrieus rotor, 28 cm diameter and a height of ...

Modeling, Validation, and Control of the IEA‐15 MW Reference Wind Turbine and VolturnUS‐S Platform

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the acausal modeling, validation, and control of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWTs). The model simulates the IEA‐15 MW reference turbine and the semi‐submersible VolturnUS‐S platform utilizing a Control‐oriented, Reconfigurable, and Acausal Floating Turbine Simulator (CRAFTS), which integrates the key coupled aero ...

Analysis and validation of CFD wind farm models in complex terrain. Effects induced by topography and wind turbines [PDF]

, 2010
Wind farms have been extensively simulated through engineering models for the estimation of wind speed and power deficits inside wind farms. These models were designed initially for a few wind turbines located in flat terrain.

An Engineering Model for Static Yawed Wind Turbines Based on Actuator Line Simulations and Symbolic Regression

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Yaw engineering models are commonly used as add‐ons to the industrial blade element momentum (BEM) framework to improve load and power predictions by accounting for the skewed wake effect. However, existing yaw engineering models show noticeable limitations in accurately predicting the induced velocity distribution across the blade span.

Wind Turbine Model Validation Is Improved by High‐Resolution, Measurement‐Derived Inflows

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT There is an increased need for accurate validation of turbine models used by original equipment manufacturers to fine‐tune prototypes and predict power performance and maintenance needs while avoiding costly warranty payouts. Perhaps the most substantial source of uncertainty in typical wind turbine model validation procedures is the use of ...
