- 1From:Wind Energy Science (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedThis article presents a method for performing noise-constrained optimization of wind farms by changing the operational modes of the individual wind turbines. The optimization is performed by use of the TopFarm...
- 2From:Wind Energy Science (Vol. 8, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedObservations of large coherent fluctuations are used to define a probabilistic model of coherent gusts with direction change. The gust model provides the joint description of the gust rise time, amplitude, and...
- 3From:Atmosphere (Vol. 14, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedJet streams are atmospheric phenomena that operate on a synoptic scale and can intensify the descending/ascending conditions of the air at the lower levels of the atmosphere. This study aimed to identify the patterns and...
- 4From:Wind Energy Science (Vol. 8, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedAssessing wind conditions in complex terrain requires computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations incorporating an accurate parameterization of forest canopy effects and Coriolis effects. This study investigates how...
- 5From:Earth, Planets and Space (Vol. 74, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedThe thermospheric wind response to a sudden westward turning of the ion velocity at a high latitude was studied by analyzing data obtained with a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI; 630 nm), Dynasonde, and Swarm A & C...
- 6From:Wind Energy Science (Vol. 7, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedUncertainty quantification is necessary in wind turbine design due to the random nature of the environmental inputs, through which the uncertainty of structural loads and response under specific situations can be...
- 7From:Water SA (Vol. 48, Issue 4) Peer-ReviewedThe climate of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, is evaluated for historical and projected trends in the period 1950-2100. This region lies next to the warm Indian Ocean and experiences an alternating airflow imposed by...
- 8From:Wind Energy Science (Vol. 7, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe dynamic inflow effect describes the unsteady aerodynamic response to fast changes in rotor loading due to the inertia of the wake. Fast changes in turbine loading due to pitch actuation or rotor speed transients lead...
- 9From:ACI Structural Journal (Vol. 119, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedFor tall buildings, wind demand under extreme wind loads is so large that design based on conventional elastic behavior can be difficult. A practical solution is to permit inelastic behavior to introduce hysteretic...
- 10From:Forests (Vol. 13, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedQuantifying wind loads acting on forest trees remains a major challenge of wind-tree-interaction research. Under wind loading, trees respond with a complex motion pattern to the external forces that displace them from...
- 11From:Forests (Vol. 13, Issue 7) Peer-ReviewedUrban trees are often more sun- and wind-exposed than their forest-grown counterparts. These environmental differences can impact how many species grow?impacting trunk taper, crown spread, branch architecture, and other...
- 12From:Wind Energy Science (Vol. 7, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedGrowth in adoption of distributed wind turbines for energy generation is significantly impacted by challenges associated with siting and accurate estimation of the wind resource. Small turbines, at hub heights of 40 m or...
- 13From:New Coin Poetry (Vol. 58, Issue 1)It follows you, blows and nags at you, begging you it doesn't leave you still, fills you with shivers its gusts hurry you along, isolate you it blows the past through you, pushing you further and further outside the...
- 14From:International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering (Vol. 13, Issue 2) Peer-ReviewedWind energy assessment of a territory where a wind park is planned to be built is important. This can be performed through an appropriate evaluation of the wind characteristics in this territory. To simulate the wind...
- 15From:Sustainability (Vol. 14, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedLand degradation induced by soil erosion is widespread in semiarid regions globally and is common in the agro?pastoral ecotone of northern China. Most researchers identify soil erosion by wind and water as independent...
- 16From:Energies (Vol. 15, Issue 10) Peer-ReviewedA comprehensive study was performed to analyze turbine wake characteristics by using a Proper-Orthogonal-Decomposition (POD) method to identify the dominant flow features from a comprehensive experimental database. The...
- 17From:Fluids (Vol. 7, Issue 6) Peer-ReviewedIn modelling turbulent flow around buildings, the computational domain needs to be much larger than the immediate neighbourhood of the building, resulting in computational costs that are excessive for many engineering...
- 18From:Processes (Vol. 10, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedThe high intensity of solar radiation and long sunshine time in the Turpan area lead to the necessity of sunshade construction. Sunshade components can effectively block direct solar radiation and the secondary heating...
- 19From:Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (Vol. 103, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedANSWER: BRIAN MAPES and WEI-MING TSAI of the University of Miami have discovered pools of moisture they call "atmospheric lakes" that form over the Indo-Pacific and travel much more slowly than atmospheric rivers....
- 20From:International Journal of Energy and Environmental Engineering (Vol. 13, Issue 1) Peer-ReviewedOver the years, the need for energy consumption has been increasing in all sectors of society. Consequently, discussions about renewable energy sources such as wind, solar, hydraulic and wave energy are increasingly...
