Turbulence Modeling and Simulation of Unsteady Transitional Boundary Layers and Wakes with Application to Wind Turbine Aerodynamics

Wind energy industry thrived in the last three decades, environmental concerns and government regulations stimulate studies on wind farm location selection and wind turbine design. Full-scale experiments and high-fidelity simulations are restrictive due to the prohibitively high cost, while the mode...
