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 different perspective. Together, these datasets compose a three-dimensional picture of the near-wake flow, including the effect of the tower and hub and the variation of instantaneous wake expansion in response to changes in turbine operation. A region of high-speed flow is observed directly behind the hub, and a region of low-speed flow appears behind the tower. Additionally, the hub produces a region of enhanced turbulence in its wake while the tower reduces turbulence near the ground as it breaks up turbulent structures in the boundary layer. Analysis of the instantaneous wake behaviour reveals variations in wake expansion, and even periods of wake contraction, occurring in response to changes in the angle of attack and blade pitch gradient. This behaviour is found to depend on the region of operation of the turbine. These findings can be incorporated into wake models and advanced control algorithms for wind farm optimization and can be used to validate wind turbine wake simulations.
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
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 base
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
