Modelling the aerodynamics of vertical-axis wind turbines in unsteady wind conditions [PDF]
, 2013 Most numerical and experimental studies of the performance of vertical-axis wind turbines have been conducted with the rotors in steady, and thus somewhat artificial, wind conditions - with the result that turbine aerodynamics, under varying wind ...

How Wind Shear Affects Trade‐wind Cumulus Convection
Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, 2020 Motivated by an observed relationship between marine low cloud cover and surface wind speed, this study investigates how vertical wind shear affects trade‐wind cumulus convection, including shallow cumulus and congestus with tops below the freezing level.

Some aspects of fluctuating vertical wind shears [PDF]
Solar Energy, 1981 Fluctuating vertical shears of wind speed have been measured using an array of towers. The statistical distributions of these shears are compared with formulas proposed by Fichtl (1971, 1972) and good agreement is found. A comparison of Fichtl's formula for the standard deviation of the fluctuating shears with a more empirical one proposed by Ramsdell (

Role of Wind Shear in the Decay of Convective Boundary Layers
Atmosphere, 2020 The role of wind shear in the decay of the convective boundary layer (CBL) is systematically investigated using a series of large-eddy simulations. Nine CBLs with weak, intermediate, and strong wind shear are simulated, and their decays after stopping ...

Brief communication: On the influence of vertical wind shear on the combined power output of two model wind turbines in yaw [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2017 The effect of vertical wind shear on the total power output of two aligned model wind turbines as a function of yaw misalignment of the upstream turbine is studied experimentally.

The Influence of Vertical Wind Shear on Moist Thermals [PDF]
Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences, 2019 AbstractAlthough it is well established that vertical wind shear helps to organize and maintain convective systems, there is a longstanding colloquial notion that it inhibits the development of deep convection. To investigate this idea, the vertical momentum budgets of sheared and unsheared moist thermals were compared in idealized cloud model ...

Analysis of the influence of the wind speed profile on wind power production
Energy Reports, 2022 The characterization of wind speed and its variability at a site is important for wind resource assessment. The most readily available wind measurements are at 10 m above ground level.
