Influence of wind shear and veer on power, thrust, and induction of an actuator disk
Kirby S. Heck, Storm A. Mata, Michael F. Howland
Wind shear and wind veer (gradients of wind speed and direction, respectively) are ubiquitous in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL), and wind turbines therefore routinely operate…

Unraveling the effects of atmospheric dynamics on wakes with a controlled synthetic inflow methodology
Kirby S. Heck, Michael F. Howland
Winds in the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) display a wide range of velocity profiles and turbulence properties that affect wind turbine wake dynamics. However, standard concurre…
