Wind Turbine Wakes

Wind Turbine Wakes: Physics, Modelling and Mitigation Strategies offers a detailed introduction to wind turbine wake dynamics, computational models, and wake mitigation strategies, bridging the gap between research and industry by showcasing the latest developments in the field with insights and case studies. This book is structured in four parts, offering in-depth coverage of the science of wind turbine wakes, mid-fidelity and high-fidelity numerical models, engineering models, and wake mitigation strategies. While the book delves into theoretical aspects, it also emphasizes the practical applications of various computational models for wind turbine wakes. Step-by-step tutorials for setting up the case, selection of model parameters, and result analysis will be included in the book to enable readers to employ and test various models in their work. A volume in the Elsevier Wind Energy Engineering Series, this is a valuable resource for all those with an interest in wind turbine design and layout, wind farm development and optimization, wind resource assessment, and wind power plant operation, including researchers, students, faculty, engineers, R&D, and industry practitioners.
