[PDF] Dynamic wind loads and wake characteristics of a wind turbine ...

https://home.engineering.iastate.edu/jdm/WESEP594/2012-EIF-Wind-turbine.pdf

The effects of the tip-speed-ratio of the wind tur-bine model on the dynamic wind loads and wake flow characteristics were quantified in the terms of the variations of the aerodynamic thrust and bending moment coefficients of the wind turbine model, the evolution of the helical tip vortices and the unsteady vortices shedding from the blade roots and turbine nacelle, the deceleration of the incoming airflows after passing the rotation disk of the turbine blades, the TKE and Reynolds stress distributions in the near wake of the wind turbine model. Fig. 12 Evolution of the tip vortex structures at the tip-speed-ratio of k = 3.0 θ θ θ θ θ θ θ θ Fig. 13 A 3-D view of the tip vortex structures in near wake of the wind turbine model 1290 Exp Fluids (2012) 52:1277–1294 123 The strength of the helical tip vortices, which can be determined quantitatively based on the ‘‘phase-locked’’ PIV measurements, was also found to change significantly as they moved downstream. The effects of the tip-speed-ratio of the wind turbine model on the evolution of the unsteady vortex flow structures in the wake of the wind turbine model were revealed clearly from the comparison of the PIV measurement results.

1 School of Green Energy and Storage, Lanzhou University of Technology, Lanzhou, 730050, China. 3 School of Energy and Power Engineering, Lanzhou University of Technology, Lanzhou, 730050, China. (This article belongs to the Special Issue: Fluid Mechanics & Thermodynamics in Renewable Energy and HVAC Systems). *Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing* **2025**, *21*(11), 2651-2671. In this study, a reduced-scale parked wind turbine is exposed to downburst wind fields to investigate the resulting extreme wind loads. The analysis emphasizes both the flow structure of downbursts and the variations of surface wind pressure on turbine blades under different jet parameters. Results show that increasing jet velocity markedly enhances the maximum horizontal wind speed, while greater jet height reduces the horizontal wind speed and shifts the peak velocity closer to the jet center. Increasing jet diameter primarily affects the radial position of the maximum horizontal wind speed. Conversely, increasing jet height extends the dissipation path of the downdraft, thereby reducing the intensity of the airflow acting on the blades.

Dynamic performance analysis for wind turbine in complex conditions

https://www.extrica.com/article/20595

# Dynamic performance analysis for wind turbine in complex conditions. This article presents a method to get dynamic responses of a wind turbine under different conditions. The time-varying load acting on the blade is calculated by using the blade element momentum theory, and the dynamic performance of the wind turbine are calculated by applying the modal superposition method with blade loads as excitations. The dynamic response process is adopted to carry out a dynamic analysis, and theoretical results are compared with experimental results, indicated that the analysis presented in this paper is correct. The results indicate that the wind turbine experiences a huge transverse vibration under turbulent wind, the hub vibration is intensified up to 179.52 %, and the vibration of the blade tip intensifies up to 190.41 % under the action of gusts in extreme conditions relative to the steady state, which shall be considered during design. * This article presents a computing method to get dynamic responses of a wind turbine under different conditions.
