Editorial: Fluid mechanics problems in wind energy

摘要：

Wind energy is growing as the key energy resource in many countries. Wind turbines convert the kinetic energy of moving air into electricity, in which fluid mechanics plays a vital role, from the aerodynamics of wind turbine blades, wind turbine wakes to atmospheric turbulence. Last one hundred years have seen the dra- matic improvement on the performance of wind turbines, that the current designs are featured with higher power efficiency, larger rotor and higher tower when compared with those in 1980s. The growing wind power industry poses new requests for wind tech- nologies, such as the design and control of floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT), the micro-sitting of wind turbines in complex ter- rains, and many others, which rely heavily on the advancements from the fluid mechanics aspect.
