Potential methods for wake control using aerofoils.

在风力涡轮机阵列中，下游涡轮机的性能受到上游涡轮机尾流的显著影响。本研究项目主要研究利用翼型进行尾迹控制的可能方法，以提高整个阵列的性能。该项目将包括使用Markham风洞和按比例缩小的风电场和翼型的实验。它还将涉及开发一个理论模型来描述涡轮机之间的相互作用，该模型将用于创建大气模拟。该项目有可能提高风电场的寿命和效率，使全球向可再生能源的过渡在经济上更加可行。

In arrays of wind turbines, the performance of downstream turbines ishindered significantly by the wake of those upstream. This research projectfocuses on investigating potential methods for wake control using aerofoils, inorder improve the performance of the whole array. The project will involveexperiments using the Markham wind tunnel and scaled-down wind farms andaerofoils. It will also involve developing a theoretical model to describe theinteractions between the turbines, which will be used to create simulations ofthe atmosphere. This project has the potential to improve the lifetime andefficiency of wind farms, making the global transition to renewable energymore economically viable.
