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

open access: yesWind 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).

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

open access: yesWind 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 ...

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

open access: yesWind 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

open access: yesWind 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 ...
