Full Wind Turbine Aeroelastic Modelling using GENUVP free wake code
Wake reaction to the vibrations undergone by the blade
Wind Turbine wake developement in the case of a high yaw misalignment of 32(deg)
Wind Turbine wake developement in the case of an extreme shear (shear exponent 0.55). Wake highly skewed, significant downwash velocities of the wake near the rotor plane.
