Wake effects of tilted wind turbines in neutral and unstable atmospheres: large eddy simulation of two-turbine arrays with downtilt Jeffrey Lee Johnston (24170178) PUREID: 655617112 Wind energy wake steering large eddy simulation (LES) actuator line method (ALM) tilted turbines In the pursuit of optimizing wind farm performance, much recent research has explored  yaw-based wake steering. A small amount of research has considering wake steering via turbine tilt, with promising results. This thesis investigates the potential of tilt-misalignment as a method to enhance power output under varying atmospheric stability. Using high fidelity LES-ALM, the study evaluates turbine wake interactions in both neutral and convective boundary layers. Findings highlight the importance of atmospheric complexity and methodological rigor in assessing the viability of this control strategy for wind energy applications.<br><br><i>Thesis is embargoed until 31 December 2026.</i> 2026-10-01T16:21:04Z Text Thesis 10.17034/32641704.v1 https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Wake_effects_of_tilted_wind_turbines_in_neutral_and_unstable_atmospheres_large_eddy_simulation_of_two-turbine_arrays_with_downtilt/32641704 All Rights Reserved Open Access after 2026-12-31
