Give a short description of the term Boundary Layer and how it relates to studying wind power.

Solution

Boundary layer is the layer of surface in contact with the moving body.which has high reynolds number.

Wind energy applications is the steady of thermally stable boundary layers.

The Boundary layer determines the aerodynamic drag and lift of the flying vehicles.

Wind turbines extracts the kinetic energy from the turbulent atmospheric Boundary layers.Wind turbines perfomance depends on the Boundary layers.

To maximise the wind energy production and to minimise the Noise levels.

The Boundary layers structures and dynamics changes with the variation of land surfaces,geometry etc
