To reduce the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), the size of a single wind turbine has been increased to 12 MW at present, with further increases expected in the near future. Big wind turbines and their associated wind farms have many advantages but also challenges. The typical effects are mainly related to the increase in Reynolds number and blade flexibility. This Special Issue is a collection of 21 important research works addressing the aerodynamic challenges appearing in such developments. The 21 research papers cover a wide range of problems related to wind turbine aerodynamics, which includes atmospheric turbulent flow modeling, wind turbine flow modeling, wind turbine design, wind turbine control, wind farm flow modeling in complex terrain, wind turbine noise modeling, vertical axis wind turbine, and offshore wind energy. Readers from all over the globe are expected to greatly benefit from this Special Issue collection regarding their own work and the goal of enabling the technological development of new environmentally friendly and cost-effective wind energy systems in order to reach the target of 100% energy use from renewable sources, worldwide, by 2050History of engineering and technologybicsscsimplified free vortex wakeH-type VAWTvariable pitchwind tunnel experimentrotor blade optimizationNon-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II)wake effectwind turbine noise propagationRANSaxial steady conditionwind turbine bladesoptimizationcomputational fluid dynamicstraight bladetyphoongradient-basedimage processingactuator line methodpiezo-electric flow sensorstallturbulenceairfoil designvortex ringdefectsDMST modelwind turbine designS809 airfoildynamic fluid body interactionComputational Fluid DynamicsABL stabilitysemi-submersible platformrandom searchfloating offshore wind turbineblade lengthadjoint approachFatigue Loadswind turbine optimizationwind turbine airfoilparticle swarm optimizationrotational augmentationNREL Phase VImechanical performancecoupling of aerodynamics and hydrodynamicstip speed ratioaerodynamicsoscillating freestreamsuper-statisticsblade element momentum theorywind turbinewind energyboundary layer separationwind turbine blade optimizationactuator discdynamic stallcomplex terrainlaminar-turbulent transitionSCADAOpenFOAMatmospheric stabilitycomputational fluid dynamicseconomic analysisOC5 DeepCWindwind tunnelactuator diskmeso/microscalecost of energypower coefficientpitch oscillationcondition monitoringaerodynamic characteristicsblade parametrizationwind turbine wakestruss Spar floating foundationwind resource assessmentwind shearwind turbine noise sourcedesignlow wind speed areasaerodynamicwind farmmet mast measurementsturbulent inflowVAWTs (Vertical axis wind turbines)thermographywind speed extrapolationMEXICOwind turbine wakeaerodynamic forcelayout optimizationH-type floating VAWTLESNACA0012History of engineering and technologyShen Wen Zhong1289239ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910367755203321Wind Turbine Aerodynamics3037389UNINA
