 This study examined how atmospheric turbulence affects the performance of wind turbines. It found that the turbulence level of the incoming air has a significant impact on the turbine's ability to generate power. Higher turbulence levels result in faster recovery of the turbine-induced wake, as well as more intense turbulence near the turbine. Additionally, the study showed that turbulence plays a role in the generation of turbulent shear stresses, which can be used to improve the efficiency of wind turbines.
