WIND ENERGY - IMPACT OF TURBULENCE GEBUNDEN

This book presents the results of the seminar Wind Energy and the Impact of Turbulence on the
Conversion Process which was supported from three societies  namely the EUROMech  EAWE and
ERCOFATC and took place in Oldenburg  Germany in spring 2012.The seminar was one of the first
scientific meetings devoted to the common topic of wind energy and basic turbulence. The
established community of researchers working on the challenging puzzle of turbulence for
decades met the quite young community of researchers  who face the upcoming challenges in the
fast growing field of wind energy applications.From the fluid mechanical point of view  wind
turbines are large machines operating in the fully turbulent atmospheric boundary layer. In
particular they are facing small-scale turbulent inflow conditions. It is one of the central
puzzles in basic turbulence research to achieve a fundamental understanding of the
peculiarities of small-scale turbulence. This book helps to better understand the resulting
aerodynamics around the wind turbine's blades and the forces transmitted into the machinery in
this context of puzzling inflow conditions. This is a big challenge due to the multi-scale
properties of the incoming wind field ranging from local flow conditions on the profile up to
the interaction of wake flows in wind farms.
