Local topography‐induced pressure gradient effects on the wake and power output of a model wind turbine

open access: yesTheoretical and Applied Mechanics Letters, 2021
Wind-tunnel experiments were performed to study the effect of favorable and adverse constant pressure gradients (PG) from local changes in the topography right downwind of a model wind turbine. Particle image velocimetry was used to characterize the near

Wind tunnel experiments on wind turbine wakes in yaw: effects of inflow turbulence and shear [PDF]

open access: yesWind Energy Science, 2018
The wake characteristics behind a yawed model wind turbine exposed to different customized inflow conditions are investigated. Laser Doppler anemometry is used to measure the wake flow in two planes at x∕D  =  3 and x∕D  =  6, while the turbine yaw ...
