Ocean Wave Modulation of Offshore Wind Turbine Loads and Wake
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT This study examines how wave‐induced modulation affects the operational performance and structural dynamics of fixed‐bottom offshore wind turbines operating under a neutral atmospheric boundary layer profile. To capture these effects accurately while maintaining computational efficiency, unsteady RANS modelling techniques are employed.

A general method for unsteady stagnation region heat transfer and results for model turbine flows [PDF]
, 1987 Recent experiments suggest that the heat-transfer characteristics of stator blades are influenced by the frequency of passing of upstream rotor blades. The calculation of these effects requires that the movement of the stagnation point with variations in

Fish schooling as a basis for vertical axis wind turbine farm design [PDF]
, 2000 Most wind farms consist of horizontal axis wind turbines (HAWTs) due to the high power coefficient (mechanical power output divided by the power of the free-stream air through the turbine cross-sectional area) of an isolated turbine.

Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Optimising turbine layouts to maximise power output is crucial for wind farm development, particularly in complex terrain where analytical wake models fail to capture key flow physics. We present the first application of Bayesian optimisation (BO) combined with large eddy simulations (LES) for utility‐scale wind farm layout optimisation in ...

Simulating wind turbine interactions using the vorticity transport equations [PDF]
, 2009 The aerodynamic interactions that can occur within a wind farm result in the constituent turbines generating a lower power output than would be possible if each of the turbines were operated in isolation.

Comparison of Power and Thrust Performance for a Fixed and Floating Offshore Wind Turbine
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines have been identified as a critical technology for sustainable electricity generation. Wind resource assessment is used to determine optimal locations for floating wind farms. However, current methodologies do not account for performance differences between fixed and floating turbines due to wind‐ and wave ...

Offshore Turbine Arrays: Numerical Modeling and Experimental Validation [PDF]
, 2015 The interaction between wind turbines in a large wind farm needs to be better understood to reduce array losses and improve energy production. A numerical test bed for an array of offshore wind turbines was developed in the open-source computational ...

Wind Tunnel Assessment of Dynamic Induction Control Under Varying Inflow Wind Directions
Wind Energy, Volume 29, Issue 6, June 2026.ABSTRACT Dynamic induction control (DIC), also known as pulse control, is a wake‐mixing strategy intended to improve wind farm efficiency by mitigating wake‐induced power losses. It typically employs harmonic collective blade pitching to excite wake instabilities, forming coherent pulsing structures that enhance turbulent mixing and accelerate wake ...
