Time-varying wind-turbine wakes at high Reynolds numbers
Nathaniel J. Wei, Adina Y. Fleisher, John W. Kurelek +1
Wind turbines operating in the atmospheric boundary layer are constantly exposed to time-varying flow conditions. These disturbances often occur on similar time scales to wind-turb…

Wake dynamics of wind turbines in unsteady streamwise flow conditions
Nathaniel J. Wei, Adnan El Makdah, JiaCheng Hu +3
The unsteady flow physics of wind-turbine wakes under dynamic forcing conditions are critical to the modeling and control of wind farms for optimal power density. Unsteady forcing…

Modeling unsteady loads on wind-turbine blade sections from periodic structural oscillations and impinging gusts
Nathaniel J. Wei, Omkar B. Shende
Many traditional methods for wind turbine design and analysis assume quasi-steady aerodynamics, but atmospheric flows are inherently unsteady and modern turbine blades are suscepti…
