Wind Flow Characterisation over a PV Module through URANS Simulations and Wind Tunnel Optical Flow Methods

Despite their simplicity, photovoltaic (PV) modules are often arranged in structures that can be affected by severe and complex wind loads: in this context, the wind flow and the dynamic excitation induced by vortex shedding can introduce unexpected aeroelastic responses. This work introduces a nove...
