Lu, Nan You (author), Manuel, Lance (author), Hawbecker, Patrick (author), Basu, S. (author)Thunderstorm downbursts have been reported to cause damage or failure to wind turbine arrays. We extend a large-eddy simulation model used in previous work to generate downburst-related inflow fields with a view toward defining correlated wind fields that all turbines in an array would experience together during a downburst. We are also...journal article 2021
