Journal Article
Bastankhah, M., Zunder, J. K., Hydon, P. E., Deebank, C., & Placidi, M. (2024). Modelling turbulence in axisymmetric wakes: an application to wind turbine wakes. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 1000, Article A2. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2024.664

A novel fast-running model is developed to predict the three-dimensional (3-D) distribution of turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) in axisymmetric wake flows. This is achieved by mathematically solving the partial differential equation of the TKE transpor... Read More about Modelling turbulence in axisymmetric wakes: an application to wind turbine wakes.

Annual energy production (AEP) is commonly used in objective functions for wind farm layout optimization. AEP is proportional to wind farm power production integrated over an annual distribution of free‐stream wind conditions. Physics‐based estimates...

Characterisation and Integration of Piezoelectric Trimorph Actuators for Blade Active Surface Control on a Scaled Wind Turbine. Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2767(9), Article 092094. https://doi.org/10.1088/1742-6596/2767/9/092094

The paper investigates the integration of piezoelectric bending actuators on trailing edge flaps (TEF). The characterisation of piezoelectric actuators is of great importance due to differences in performance resulting from sample variability, actuat...

A fast-running physics-based wake model for a semi-infinite wind farm (2024)
Journal Article
Bastankhah, M., Mohammadi, M. M., Lees, C., Diaz, G. P. N., Buxton, O. R., & Ivanell, S. (2024). A fast-running physics-based wake model for a semi-infinite wind farm. Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 985, Article A43. https://doi.org/10.1017/jfm.2024.282

This paper presents a new generation of fast-running physics-based models to predict the wake of a semi-infinite wind farm, extending infinitely in the lateral direction but with finite size in the streamwise direction. The assumption of a semi-infin... Read More about A fast-running physics-based wake model for a semi-infinite wind farm.
