Understanding and modifying vortex structures in wind turbine wakes

在基础研究层面，澳大利亚积极参与这一国家重点和研究实力领域，将通过我们发表的研究成果来推进，这将增加我们对风力涡轮机尾流及其在风电场中的影响的了解。这种理解将用于改进预测风力涡轮机性能的方法。风能设计师需要这样的方法来生产更好的风力发电厂。它还将用于建议如何改进涡轮部件的空气动力学设计，如叶片和轮毂。将开发供工业使用的数值工具，并将向人员提供培训，从而提高澳大利亚不断增长的风能工业的能力。

At a fundamental research level, Australia's active participation in this area of national priority and research strength will be advanced through our published research, which will increase our understanding of wind turbine wakes and their effects in wind farms. This understanding will then be used to produce improved methods of predicting wind turbine performance. Such methods are needed by wind energy designers to produce better wind farms. It will also be used to recommend how to improve the aerodynamic design of turbine components, such as the blades and hub. Numerical tools will be developed for industry use, and training will be provided to personnel, thereby increasing the capabilities of Australia's growing wind energy industry.
