Author: LI Zuowu HE Dexin
Abstract: Great progress has been achieved in the Chinese wind energy industry. By the end of 2012, according to statistics of
CWEA, 75 GW capacity of wind power has been generated in China that pushes the country to the top place in the global
wind power market. Nowadays, the technology trend focuses on the offshore wind power and the larger multi-megawatt wind
turbine. It brings about several engineering challenges and new scientific problems. In this review, we focus on the advances
in fluid dynamics researches related to wind energy engineering, such as the wind properties in atmospheric boundary layer
(ABL), micrositing at complex terrain, wake flow behind wind turbine, airfoil design for large blade, aerodynamics for
wind turbine, aero-elastic interaction, and offshore wind power technology. We also discuss the limitations of the widelyapplicated
computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique. Finally, we point out the weakness of Chinese fundamental
researches on wind energy engineering, and provide some suggestions.
Keywords: ABL, micrositing, wake interaction, airfoil design, aero-elastic interaction, offshore wind power, CFD
