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…

An analytical model for rotors in confined flow across operating regimes
I. M. L. Upfal, K. J. McClure, K. S. Heck +4
Rotors operating in confined flows, or blockage, are commonly encountered in wind and water tunnels, as well as in shallow or dense deployments of hydrokinetic turbines. Confinemen…
