TL;DR: In this paper, a new wake model based on the skew-normal distribution and conservation of mass and momentum is proposed to predict the turbine wake velocity distribution for given yaw angles, which extends from the spatial distribution of the maximum velocity deficit at hub height, to the spanwise asymmetry of the velocity distribution about the wake center.

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic experimentation on performance and wake spatial evolution was carried out using a wind turbine model varying tip speed ratio, pitch angle, and yaw angle, which is interpreted in terms of the force viewpoint, which describes more quantitatively the relationship between turbine performance and the wake.

TL;DR: In this article, a new three-dimensional yaw wake model is proposed to estimate the non-centrosymmetric cross-sectional shape of the yawed wake velocity distribution, and the model is experimentally validated.

TL;DR: In this paper, a straight-bladed vertical axis wind turbine consisting of three pairs of blades has been introduced and tested in a wind tunnel to verify the reliability and efficiency of the novel configuration.

TL;DR: In this paper, the power performance of a minimal wind turbine array was investigated in an atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel, where five turbine configurations were tested in site-specific experiments: a single turbine, two aligned, two misaligned, three aligned, and three misaligned turbines.
