Dynamic wind loads and wake characteristics of a wind turbine model in an atmospheric boundary layer wind (2012, background): “As suggested by Cal et al. (2010), the high Reynolds stress in the wake of a wind turbine would play an important role in promoting the vertical transport of the kinetic energy in the wake of the wind turbine, which will draw down more high velocity wind from above to the boundary layer flow,…”
Characterising the near-wake of a cross-flow turbine (2015, background): “Compared with an axial-flow turbine wake [32], and a rotating actuator disk model [33], axisymmetric streamwise vorticity or swirl is not observed here, which is one of the reasons for the wakes’ differing dynamics.”
Tip-vortex instability and turbulent mixing in wind-turbine wakes (2015, methodology): “…and coherent vortices and the kinetic-energy transport due to the turbulence and the periodic vortices at a phase ϕ. Consideration of such energy fluxes for wind-energy data analysis has been proposed and introduced in previous literature by Cal et al. (2010) and Calaf, Meneveau & Meyers (2010).”
Potential order-of-magnitude enhancement of wind farm power density via counter-rotating vertical-axis wind turbine arrays (2010, background): “This frontal kinetic energy flux will limit the performance of VAWTs near the front of the array; however, the majority of the turbines in a large VAWT farm will be limited by the lower planform kinetic energy flux from above the wind farm (15, 16).”
Experimental and theoretical study of wind turbine wakes in yawed conditions (2016, background): “This situation might be favourable in very large wind farms as the kinetic energy is transferred mainly from higher regions in the boundary layer towards wind turbines (Cal et al. 2010; Calaf, Meneveau & Meyers 2010; Lu & Porté-Agel 2011; Abkar & Porté-Agel 2013).”
Experimental analysis of the wake of a horizontal-axis wind-turbine model (2014, background): “[1,3,4,9] and [16]; this is related to the vertical transport of momentum, with negative values of shear meaning entrainment into the wake of the freestream flow momentum and as such directly related to the re-energising process.”
Wind-Turbine Wakes in a Convective Boundary Layer: A Wind-Tunnel Study (2013, methodology): “The rotor blades are nearly flat plates, similar to those of the small homemade wind-turbine models used in Lebrón J et al. (2010) and Cal et al. (2010).”
Wind-Turbine and Wind-Farm Flows: A Review (2019, background): “…been performed to study the interaction between turbulent boundary-layer flows and wind turbines or farms (e.g., Chamorro and Porté-Agel 2009, 2011; Cal et al. 2010; Lebron et al. 2012; Aubrun et al. 2013; Tian et al. 2013; Hancock and Pascheke 2014; Hamilton et al. 2015; Li et al. 2016;…”
