• A comparison of lab-scale free rotating wind turbines and actuator disks 

      Helvig, Sanne de Jong; Vinnes, Magnus Kyrkjebø; Segalini, Antonio; Worth, Nicholas; Hearst, R. Jason (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Planar particle image velocimetry was conducted upstream and in the near-wake of a lab-scale free-rotating wind turbine model and compared to several actuator disks with the same dimensions. The Reynolds number of the ...
    • The flow in the induction and entrance regions of lab-scale wind farms 

      Vinnes, Magnus Kyrkjebø; Worth, Nicholas Alexander; Segalini, Antonio; Hearst, Robert Jason (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      With the increasing demand for wind energy, it is important to be able to understand and predict the available wind resources. To that end, the present wind tunnel study addresses the flow in the induction and entrance ...
