Motivated by the need for compact descriptions of the evolution of non-classical wakes behind yawed wind turbines, we develop an analytical model to predict the shape of curled wakes. Interest in such modelling arises due to the potential of wake ste... Read More about A vortex sheet based analytical model of the curled wake behind yawed wind turbines.

Wake steering of multirotor wind turbines (2021)
Journal Article
Speakman, G. A., Abkar, M., Martínez‐Tossas, L. A., & Bastankhah, M. (2021). Wake steering of multirotor wind turbines. Wind Energy, 24(11), 1294-1314. https://doi.org/10.1002/we.2633

In this paper, wake steering is applied to multirotor turbines to determine whether it has the potential to reduce wind plant wake losses. Through application of rotor yaw to multirotor turbines, a new degree of freedom is introduced to wind farm con... Read More about Wake steering of multirotor wind turbines.

Analytical solution for the cumulative wake of wind turbines in wind farms (2021)
Journal Article
Bastankhah, M., Welch, B. L., Martínez-Tossas, L. A., King, J., & Fleming, P. (2021). Analytical solution for the cumulative wake of wind turbines in wind farms. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 911, Article A53. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2020.1037

This paper solves an approximate form of conservation of mass and momentum for a turbine in a wind farm array. The solution is a fairly simple explicit relationship that predicts the streamwise velocity distribution within a wind farm with an arbitra...
