Abstract

Although wind turbines have been well studied from a blade aerodynamics perspective, the interactions among these massive structures and the atmospheric turbulent boundary layer(ATBL) are still not understood in detail. It is important to understand such interactions in order to maximize the energy that can be extracted from the available wind resource. Numerous computational, field, experimental and analytical studies have determined the relevance of these wind turbine atmosphere interactions. For instance, past investigations …
