Enhanced wind-farm performance using windbreaks
Luoqin Liu, Richard J. A. M. Stevens
The flow speed-up generated by windbreaks can be used to increase the power production of wind turbines. However, due to the increased drag imposed by the windbreaks, their use in…
Strong alignment of prolate ellipsoids in Taylor-Couette flow
Martin P. A. Assen, Chong Shen Ng, Jelle B. Will +3
We report on the mobility and orientation of finite-size, neutrally buoyant prolate ellipsoids (of aspect ratio ) in Taylor-Couette flow, using interface resolved numerical si…
Off-center gravity induces large-scale flow patterns in spherical Rayleigh-Bénard
Guiquan Wang, Luca Santelli, Roberto Verzicco +2
Inspired by the hemispherical asymmetry observed in the Earth's inner core, we perform direct numerical simulations to study the effect of the gravity center offset in spherical Ra…
Diffusion-free scaling in rotating spherical Rayleigh-Bénard convection
Guiquan Wang, Luca Santelli, Detlef Lohse +2
Direct numerical simulations are employed to reveal three distinctly different flow regions in rotating spherical Rayleigh-Bénard convection. In the low-latitude region $\mathrm{I}…
Universal Wind Profile for Conventionally Neutral Atmospheric Boundary Layers
Luoqin Liu, Srinidhi N. Gadde, Richard J. A. M. Stevens
Conventionally neutral atmospheric boundary layers (CNBLs), which are characterized with zero surface potential temperature flux and capped by an inversion of potential temperature…
Effect of low-level jet height on wind farm performance
Srinidhi N. Gadde, Richard J. A. M. Stevens
Low-level jets (LLJs) are the wind maxima in the lowest 50 to 1000 m of atmospheric boundary layers. Due to their significant influence on the power production of wind farms it is…
