Wind turbines often disappoint because the models that justified them weren't all that accurate. But as wind turbines themselves hopefully improve, modeling may as well. And output power may get some extra energy from an unexpected direction: below. According to the authors of a new paper, many wind turbine array studies overlook the fact that important airflow changes occur inside the array. read more
