Abstract

In Chap. 3 some of the necessary fluid mechanics background was introduced. Now looking closer at the wind turbine, we may ask which details of the turbulent wind field are generally more important and in which order the properties of this field should be discussed.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A well-known example is the German early Multi-MW turbine GROWIAN (1976–1987), which had to be shut down after only about 400 h of operation [3].
