Curled-Skewed Wakes behind Yawed Wind Turbines Subject to Veered Inflow (2022)
Journal Article
Mohammadi, M., Bastankhah, M., Fleming, P., Churchfield, M., Bossanyi, E., Landberg, L., & Ruisi, R. (2022). Curled-Skewed Wakes behind Yawed Wind Turbines Subject to Veered Inflow. Energies, 15(23), Article 9135. https://doi.org/10.3390/en15239135

This work presents a new engineering analytical model that predicts the effect of both the turbine yaw misalignment and the inflow wind veer on the wake flow distribution downwind of a wind turbine. To consider the veered inflow, two methods were exa... Read More about Curled-Skewed Wakes behind Yawed Wind Turbines Subject to Veered Inflow.

Wind tunnel research, dynamics, and scaling for wind energy (2022)
Journal Article
Bastankhah, M., Hamilton, N., & Bayoán Cal, R. (2022). Wind tunnel research, dynamics, and scaling for wind energy. Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy, 14(6), Article 060402. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0133993

The interaction of wind turbines with turbulent atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) flows represents a complex multi-scale problem that spans several orders of magnitudes of spatial and temporal scales. These scales range from the interactions of large... Read More about Wind tunnel research, dynamics, and scaling for wind energy.

FLOW Estimation and Rose Superposition (FLOWERS): an integral approach to engineering wake models (2022)
Journal Article
LoCascio, M. J., Bay, C. J., Bastankhah, M., Barter, G. E., Fleming, P. A., & Martínez-Tossas, L. A. (2022). FLOW Estimation and Rose Superposition (FLOWERS): an integral approach to engineering wake models. Wind Energy Science, 7(3), 1137-1151. https://doi.org/10.5194/wes-7-1137-2022

Annual energy production (AEP) is often the objective function in wind plant layout optimization studies. The conventional method to compute AEP for a wind farm is to first evaluate power production for each discrete wind direction and speed using ei...
