Numerical investigation of the influence of shear and thermal stratification on the wind turbine tip‐vortex stability

Summary The interaction between wind turbine wakes and atmospheric turbulence is characterised by complex dynamics. In this study, two major components of the atmospheric boundary layer dynamics have been isolated, namely, the mean velocity profile shear and the thermal stratification, to examine th...
