In the unsteady flow environment experienced by wind turbine blades, large excursions in local angle of attack and significant three-dimensional flows arise that complicate the prediction of stall onset and unsteady loading. ...

Floating offshore wind turbines in deep waters offer significant advantages to onshore and near-shore wind turbines. However, due to the motion of floating platforms in response to wind and wave loading, the aerodynamics ...

Wind resource characterization and short-term wind power forecasts often utilize mesoscale meteorological models such as the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model. Because of the finite nature of the model grid, ...

The present investigation of trailing edge acoustic emission of an airfoil concerns the effects of the broadband noise generated by the interaction of turbulent boundary layer and airfoil trailing edge, and the tonal noise ...

We will present novel modifications of the three-equation k-kL-ω eddy viscosity model proposed by Walters and Cokljat [1] for the adverse pressure gradient flows that occur on wind turbine blades and airfoils. The original ...

A leading obstacle hindering the development of wind turbines to extreme scale is the structural integrity of the blades. Downwind rotors have been shown to give structural advantages for larger systems. However, there is ...

This paper presents a systematic review of current literature on the issues of noise and vibration of wind turbines and their impact on human health and wild life. The paper reviews the literature on the issues of noise ...
