Inter-turbine spacing and flow unsteadiness effects on wake-induced blade dynamics
Wind turbines operating downstream of others in a farm are routinely exposed to waked inflow, with reduced mean velocity and elevated turbulence driving power deficits and additional structural fatigue. The direct effect of wakes on blade-level structural loading remains under-explored experimentally, owing partly to t...
