The Yawing Behavior of Horizontal-Axis Wind Turbines: A Numerical and Experimental Analysis

The yawing of horizontal-axis wind turbines (HAWT) is a major topic in the comprehension of the dynamical behavior of these kinds of devices. It is important for the study of mechanical loads to which wind turbines are subjected and it is important for the optimization of wind farms because the yaw...
