Prediction of low frequency and impulsive sound radiation from horizontal axis wind turbines [PDF]
, 1981 Theoretical models to predict the radiation of low frequency and impulsive sound from horizontal axis wind turbines due to three sources: (1) steady blade loads; (2) unsteady blade loads due to operation in a ground shear; (3) unsteady loads felt by the ...

Numerical validation of the two-scale actuator disc theory for marine turbine arrays [PDF]
, 2015 The challenge in the hydrodynamic modelling of tidal and marine turbine farms is to take into account the interaction of flow events across a wide range of scales, such as the blade scale, turbine scale, array scale and regional scale.

Analysis of turbulence and vortex structures by flow mapping [PDF]
, 1997 The technique of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) flow mapping is reviewed and comparisons made with Laser Doppler Anemometry (LDA). Results are presented showing the application of PlV to the determination of coherent structures in grid-generated ...

The effects of atmospheric and wake turbulence on wind turbines and wind turbine wakes
, 2015 Wind tunnel studies using model wind turbines have been used to investigate the effects and characteristics of neutral and unstable atmospheric boundary layers on their operation and wake behaviour. Wind turbine arrays have also been arranged to observe the effect of wake interaction.

Modelling turbulence in axisymmetric wakes: an application to wind turbine wakes
Journal of Fluid MechanicsA novel fast-running model is developed to predict the three-dimensional (3-D) distribution of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in axisymmetric wake flows. This is achieved by mathematically solving the partial differential equation of the TKE transport using the Green's function method.
