Super-large-scale particle image velocimetry (SLPIV) using natural snowfall is used to investigate the influence of nacelle and tower generated flow structures on the near-wake of a 2.5 MW wind turbine at the EOLOS field station. The analysis is based on the data collected in a field campaign on March 12th, 2017, with a sample area of 125 m (vertical) x 70 m (streamwise) centred on the plane behind the turbine support tower. The SLPIV measurement provides the velocity field over the entire rotor span, revealing a region of accelerated flow around the hub caused by the reduction in axial induction at the blade roots. The in-plane turbulent kinetic energy field shows an increase in turbulence in the regions of large shear behind the blade tips and the hub, and a reduction in turbulence behind the tower where the large-scale turbulent structures in the boundary layer are broken up. Snow voids reveal coherent structures shed from the blades, nacelle, and tower. The hub wake meandering frequency is quantified and found to correspond to the vortex shedding frequency of an Ahmed body (St=0.06). Persistent hub wake deflection is observed and shown to be connected with the turbine yaw error. In the region below the hub, strong interaction between the tower- and blade-generated structures is observed. The temporal characteristics of this interaction are quantified by the co-presence of two dominant frequencies, one corresponding to the blade vortex shedding at the blade pass frequency and the other corresponding to tower vortex shedding at St=0.2. This study highlights the influence of the tower and nacelle on the behaviour of the near-wake, informing model development and elucidating the mechanisms that influence wake evolution.
Super-large-scale particle image velocimetry and flow visualization with natural snowfall is used to collect and analyze multiple datasets in the near wake of a 2.5 MW wind turbine. Each dataset captures the full vertical span of the wake from a diff
The current study uses large eddy simulations to investigate the transient response of a utility-scale wind turbine wake to dynamic changes in atmospheric and operational conditions, as observed in previous field-scale measurements. Most wind turbine
Understanding wind turbine wake mixing and recovery is critical for improving the power generation and structural stability of downwind turbines in a wind farm. In the field, where incoming flow and turbine operation are constantly changing, wake rec

The atmospheric incoming flow of a wind turbine is intimately connected to its power production as well as its structural stability. Here we present an incoming flow measurement of a utility-scale turbine at the high spatio-temporal resolution, using
