Effect of freestream turbulence on the coherent dynamics of a wind turbine wakeThe wake of a model wind turbine exposed to freestream turbulence (FST) with a variety of turbulent characteristics is studied through Particle Image Velocimetry experiments. The FST cases spanned turbulent intensities (Ti) in the range 1% < Ti < 13.1 % and integral length scales (Lv) in the range 0.01D < Lv < 0.11D (where D is the diameter of the turbine model)}. Increasing Ti and Lv in this range resulted in an earlier breakdow…
